I usually can't bring myself to upvote posts that tell of someone's death, but for you I make an exception. Why? Because you say with confidence that he's gone home to Jesus. That is cause for rejoicing. He is free of pain. If ever you feel alone, remember that the love he felt for you on earth has only been perfected in God's Kingdom. He is still watching over you, and he will rejoice with you in every joyous moment of your life until you meet again.
