August Happiness Challenge - Day 28

My entry today is not really about happiness, except in a roundabout way.  I've lost the following aunt and uncles in the last year.

My uncle Bert on November 10, 2004.
My aunt Bill (Beulah) on April 13, 2005.
My uncle Charlie on August 13, 2005.
My uncle Osborn on August 27, 2005.

What a sad year!  I guess the happiness part is realizing that they were a part of my life for so long.  Bert was 88, Bill almost 93, Charlie 91, and Osborn 92.  Thank you, God, for family. 

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.  Psalm 147:3.
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.  Isaiah 41:10.
