Pop

It has been quite an exhausting week. We've been completely amazed, humbled, and encouraged by the outpouring of love toward the Self family. We're encouraged and thankful for all the prayers, cards, messages, food, phone calls, and visits that we've received during this time. We just couldn't believe all the people who came out to the visitation and actually stood in line waiting for over an hour and a half just to pay respects and visit with the family. It is still so hard to believe that Shane's dad is really gone. Sometimes I wake up and wonder if the events of the last few days really happened and that I could just stop by Shane's office and see his dad since they worked together. I know Shane is thankful for the time they had together just being able to work with his dad and see him everyday at work. I feel so sad for my boys that they'll never get to know Pop like we had hoped they would, and I'm sad for all the experiences they'll never get to have with him. Shane and his dad had been planning on taking Dalton fishing this spring in the boat. He so adored his grandkids. We praise God for his life and are confident that he now lives with Jesus because of the relationship that he had with Jesus Christ.
