It doesn’t matter how long you know that a
loved one is going to die, it is never easy.
We see here that they spent many days mourning for Jacob and followed Jacob’s
requests for his burial. It is
interesting that Joseph is the one that carried out his father’s wishes. Maybe because they had so many years without
contact, these last years together were extra special. They had a bond the first years of Joseph’s
life and it doesn’t seem that changed with the time spent apart.
Think about those that mean so much to
you. Tell them how special they are
while you can.
