I was married to my loving wife Dorothy for 70 years. A few months ago, Jesus called her home to live with Him in heaven. She received her crown of glory. Yet here I am.

Here I am alone without her. Sometimes I am sad, while other times I rejoice that she is with Jesus. Regardless, living without her is difficult. I do not understand what God understands and does, but I need to trust Him.

Jesus promises to prepare a place for me if I believe and trust in Him. He desires for me to be with Him for all eternity — just like my Dorothy. I celebrate my Dorothy's homecoming, knowing she is in Jesus' loving care. So, here I am today. Someday, we will be in the same place, worshiping our Savior.
