The ocean may have my dad, but heaven has his soul. 
Before my eyes, my dad took a wave body surfing yesterday and never came back up. Gone. In an instant. My heart physically hurts right now and I cry so hard my eyes are almost swollen shut and my throat is in pain..... But can I just tell you that shows how much I loved my dad? 
I want to shout it on rooftops how much I loved him for a sec. My crazy, white water rafting, fishing, camping, taught me how to be adventurous .....dad. He knew I loved him and I'm so grateful for that. He lived a full adventurous life and I'm thankful for that too. He would never claim to be a perfect man but he was a man thankful for grace. He loved the gospel and all it held for him. He was the guy you wanted to be around and talk to.... fun and brave. My dad. 
I just had to tell the world that for a moment. I miss him, I ache for this not to be true..... but I grieve with hope knowing he is where he looked forward to being one day. 
For those prayerful souls, can I ask? Please pray for our family. For God to take this wound and bind it with his grace.... that His peace would persevere in our hearts. This is so very hard...
