He giveth, He taketh

Dear Calvin and Alvin,

I've gotten news about your dad. First of all, I want give you both my sincere condolences for your loss. I may not have lost a family member that is close to me but somehow I know how it feels to lose someone especially that is a close member of your family.

I do not know your dad but I believe that your dad is a very good man. Like all dads, I believe he has worked hard to take care of your family, gave financial support, provided shelter for you all, helped you whenever you needed help, been a responsible and loving dad and whatever else there is.

I believe that it was God's plan for him to have passed away there and then. And now I hope that he's with God and is looking down upon you two and your family from up there. Remember all the good things that he did, maybe like the jokes that he made or when he played with you when you were younger. He may be gone now but he'll live on in your hearts and your memories of him. He has done his duty on this earth.

In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."

And in John 14:1-4
"Don't let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know the way I am going."

So don't be too troubled as God will provide you with peace of mind and heart as it is said in John 14:27 "I am leaving you with a gift -- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid."

I hope that these few verses here will help you to continue on with your life and what I'm writing here I mean it with my heart =). May God provide your family with peace. God bless! Keep smiling and be happy. One day you'll see him again. Remember that God always gives and takes.
