Closure

My Dad and I were able to spend some time with John that night at the hospital.  It was the hardest thing I've ever done.  It was such a helpless feeling seeing the one I loved laying there right in front of me, lifeless, knowing that there was nothing I could do to bring him back.  The only comforting thing was the way he looked and the fact that I knew he was already up in Heaven.  As hard as it was to comprehend, God had much bigger plans for him.

John had a few burns, scratches, and bruises on his body but he looked great considering the terrible house fire he had battled just hours before. 

Looking back, I am so thankful that I saw John that night.  As hard as it was, it was a start to the closure that I really needed.
