Today is the one-year anniversary of the death of my father-in-law, Lyle Bean. One year ago today Virginia, her 6 siblings and her mom all gathered around Lyle's bed and prayed and cried and hugged and sang to him as he folded the tent of his life so he could go home. I was not able to be there in Nashville that day, but I have been blessed to experience that legacy of faith for many years. Today I simply give thanks for my own mom and dad, for our almost 34 year marriage, for the family into which both my brother and I married, for our children, and for those who are now family through them. "May all who come behind us find us faithful..."
