It is difficult to imagine how parents feel when they marry their beloved daughter.
It is at the same time pride, bright sadness and admiration for the beautiful bride, who just yesterday was their little girl …
Jim Zetzen from California knew these feelings firsthand.
His little elders have already created their own family, the man even managed to become a happy grandfather.
The family also grew up a little girl, Josie, whom Jim’s wife, Grace, gave him when the man was already over 50 years old.
Josie was 11 years old when problems hit the family.
Jim suddenly began to have health problems.
Before that, the man, who recently turned 62, felt quite cheerful and full of energy, so everything happened suddenly.
The examination revealed the 4th stage of pancreatic cancer.
Before that, the man had no symptoms and the diagnosis came as a complete surprise.
Jim had only a few months left to live.
Most of all, the man was distressed that he could not lead his beloved youngest daughter to the altar.
Then relatives and friends decided to organize some kind of ceremony to please him.
Josie dressed up in a wedding dress, all the parents gathered in the garden, and the pastor was also invited there.
Jim led his little beauty between the rows of guests, as he dreamed, and at the end of the ceremony the pastor said :
„I declare you father and daughter! ”
All this looked very touching, many of the guests could not restrain their emotions and burst into tears.
Little Josie was crying as she hugged her father.
Jim died two months later.
The memory of this happy day warmed the soul of the loving dad until the last minute and forever remained in the memory of all his loved ones.
