What a story. Being with loved ones is so important.

Your writing I can feel. Life is precious we all know but if we know and I mean know that there could be an end near it is with an sharper awareness that what we do matters to the soul. Ricky knew at a soul level what became most important. Do what you love doing. Spend the time with those you love most. I know about waiting too. Peace dear Jacki.

Thank you Jay! Yes, that was his joy and life to be with his son who he coached and nurtured into the sports field when young, Cody was talented in Baseball and Football. That was what he wanted and that is what he did. My sister and I face timed him at Easter last year and we were so happy his sister Dawyn gave him the phone, as he wasn’t taking calls. To see him and hear his voice was an amazing gift! We prayed for him so much, I think we unwittingly prayed him right into heaven, where he belonged.

It might be said that we help. It eases the burden of the departing soul by making them realize what who they leave behind is going to be just fine. Thank you for letting me know.
