In the far haven of eternity
As o'er the stormy sea of human Life
We sail, until our anchor'd spirits rest
In the far haven of Eternity,...

Father passed away very peacefully on 25 Jan 2013 at the ripe old age of 102. When I lost Mother 15 years ago, I was overcome with grief for losing a person who had loved me so unconditionally for as long as I know. Now when I lost Father I feel I had also lost a large part of my life. Memories of my childhood and young adulthood with my parents came flooding back, both the tribulations and the happy times that we went through as a family. But as I looked at him lying so peacefully, I try to convince myself that he is now in a better place where he is no longer weak and frail.
