There are some days that give significance to human life. Today was one of those days. Sometimes losing a life gives significance to lives as ironic and confusing as that may sound. My Opa Jake, 82 years old, passed away. 

I first want to pledge that without this man, nothing would be the same. We have a lot to owe to this man. But let me tell you why it gives significance.

As I watched my opa take his last breaths today I couldnt help but think the simple thought that he was going to a better place. I think we forget to think about heaven until we know someone on their death bed, or we ourselves are on a death bed. I feel completely sure that my Opa went to heaven and I also feel that if I was to die today, I would go to heaven too. Knowing there is a heaven, gives you a peace after loosing a love one unlike any other. As the pastor said today, he had a simple trust in God and he was at peace with his life. 

I want to pay tribute to my Opa Jake in something as simple as this blog post. I love you Opa. Forever in our hearts.
