    Happy Father's Day

    My grandma died last week. She was 103 on June 3rd. I can't go to the funeral because my wife, 59, is dying by VSED. She got up in the morning and wished me happy father's day.

    I need support and I dont know who else to turn too.

    My highlight today's study

    27 And I soon go to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; for I know that in him I shall rest. And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed...

    Scared with family history
