This morning we said good bye to our father. It has been a difficult journey and we are grateful that he is at peace. The plans haven't been finalized but he will be going back to Coleman, Texas to his beloved First United Methodist Church where we want to celebrate his life. So far it looks like that will be Saturday. We would like to try to get some rest before making the trip to Coleman.
I want to thank you for your encouragement and support. I wish I had the ability to express myself but I can only hope that you know what I am trying to say. I talked to my friend and minister this afternoon She said that she could imagine a scenario where everyday God would ask, "Cliff, are you ready to come home?" And he would answer, "Not yet. I don't think they are ready" This morning when God asked he said, "Yes Father, I am ready. They will be okay "

Dear Bobbie,
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in losing your precious Dad. Cliff was very special to us and we will miss him greatly.
When my mom died on my birthday, I was devastated...not only to lose the person I was closest to in this life, but that she was gone on that day. But a close friend said in responding to my email noting that fact that "wasn't it special that your mom chose your birthday as HER new birthday in Heaven!" It gave me a new perspective and released me from the negative association I had with that date.
Cliff did say, "All is Well" and went on home.
