Five years ago today, June 22nd, my family lost a very special person. My dad. He was a wonderful man of God. He did his best to raise his family in a loving Christian home. He wasn’t a perfect man, but he did do his best to live for God daily.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about him. Especially around the holidays and birthdays. He was always the first one to call me early in the morning. He was always there for all 4 of us kids. If we ever needed anything, all we had to do was call him. There are still some things that I will ask myself, “what would daddy do in this situation.”
Cancer is an evil disease. It took my dad way too soon in my opinion. However, I know God took him home when we wanted him. My dad had done his job on this earth and it was time to go on to his heavenly home. I am thankful for all the memories that I have of my dad. However, the best part is knowing that he is in Heaven with God and I will be there with him one day singing and rejoicing and praising God right along with him.
Next year will be five years for us with Jeremy’s brother, Jason. So hard… seems like just yesterday and still so hard to believe that he is gone.
So sorry about your dad and rejoicing with you that you will see him again one day!
Thanks Jenilee. I will be praying for you and your family in the loss of your brother-in-law. Some times nomatter how long ago it was that you lost someone, it can still seem so new and sad.
