CW “Bob” Blankenship’s funeral was yesterday and it was a beautiful service. It sure did bring back a lot of memories for me and I am sure it did for many others. I am one of those that can relate to the loss of a father. My Dad laid in that same spot and I could see it all over again when they rolled the casket out.  I could feel my sense of loss all over again. When my Dad died, I felt as though I was lost in a big world and that the one that always protected me was gone. I miss him every day but now my emotions are often times that of anticipation of when we meet again and what he is doing at this moment. Thank God, death is not final, although those who are not saved I have no doubts wish that it were. I could spend days reflecting on my memories of my Dad who I know is in Heaven and I KNOW I will see him and he will see me again.Â
Let’s all continue to pray for the Blankenship family as they have a lot of healing processes to go through. Â
Please feel free to share your memories with us. Â
My dad has been gone since January 20, 1978, and I can feel it like it was yesterday. My dad and I did almost everything together, I was and am a tomboy and would help him with most things that my brother would not, just so I could be with him. I too, look forward to the day that I will see him again along with my mother who I know are there together in heaven.
My the Lord bless the Blankenship family with the peace that can only come from Him.

I don’t like remembering what it was like to deal with the death of my day but I can say for sure that time does ease the pain and it will get better. God truly is there for us in those times.
