Homesick

It has been almost 3 weeks since my Mamaw went on to Heaven.  She was married for 63 years to my papaw. They were so in love and dedicated to each other. He was her world and she was his. Since her passing, although I live so far away, with updates from my mom and phone calls and conversations with him, you can tell he is truly heart broken. How could he not be. In one conversation my papaw said to me "He took my second best friend" (his first best friend being Christ).  My papaw got sick and was in the hospital for close to a week and my mother was with him. She shared that he was crying and a nurse came in and asked him if he was ok. He said "just missing my partner".  It breaks my heart to know his heart is so broken and hurting. So many wonderful years together and the pain that must come with being the one left behind. I heard this song and it made me think of my papaw.  I pray the Lord's strength will surround him and give him some relief from his pain. He is truly HOMESICK for Glory.
