More later, but for now, I made it here a few hours before dad passed. I got to sit with him, listen to his labored breathing, and then rest in the room with him as he slowly slipped away.

It was a blessing to be here, and I’m glad my schedule ironed itself out so I could fly here just in time.

I will post the funeral details later this weekend, but essentially it will be on Wednesday at First Church, Pearland, Texas. 10 a.m. Private interment will be with the family in Livingston, Texas.
