Last Sunday morning, Sept. 16 at 10:45am, my dad breathed his last breath on earth and his first breath in heaven.This is something I have dreaded my whole life. I feared that I would not be able to even think about dealing with the loss of the most important man in my life; my father, my daddy, my hero, my teacher, my example, my friend. But the grace of God has provided me such an incredible peace through this past week. Yes I am very sad, but only for those of his family and friends who have to wait our turn to go on to glory.
The outpouring of love and support has been just amazing. I knew Dad had lots of friends, but it was so awesome to greet so many people whose lives Dad touched. We so appreciate each kindness we have been shown.
My dad leaves some mighty big shoes to try to fill, but he has left a great example and legacy to help guide the way to give it my best effort.
If your dad is still with you, spend every moment you can with him. You won't regret it.
A very proud and grateful son,
Jeff Hulsizer
