I was thinking last Sunday as I cleaned and picked up the garage which had sort of gotten out of control about the times that Carolyn's dad, John, would come over and volunteer to help clean out the garage or paint a room or fertilize the lawn or help me put together a swing set for Ashley in dusk's darkening skies on Christmas eve.
John was a selfless father-in-law. One with whom you could just hang, joke, play or work. I know Carolyn misses him still and so do I as I miss that older male bonding. I'm sorry that Ashley didn't get to know him longer, but his spirit resides in our family still. That desire to be a servant to those around him without concern for status or seniority is truly a Biblical example and one I wish to emulate.
John we miss you.
