Sign of New Life

As I got out of my van at my dad's house yesterday, I found a dandelion in bloom under his clothesline. We have had lots of snow, ice, and hard freezes in the last month, so to find one of my favorite wildflowers in bloom was a sign of new life. As my father hovers near death in his life on this earth, it makes me think of the hard freezes, snow, and ice of his life, especially this past year. Soon he will pass on to where flowers will be found in bloom forever. Soon he will be living again, only this time in Heaven where there will be no snow, ice, hard freezes or pain.
