I must admit, I had an extremely good cry about your story, I know it took much courage on your part to write it and I know your dad would really love it that you wrote it. I sincerely believe he knows how much you cared. I really miss him, love and respect him so very much, it seems I think of him every day. Take care and I will continue to pray for him and you each day.<BR/><BR/>Love, Aunt DeLorisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122445.post-1151464805073670092006-06-27T22:20:00.000-05:002006-06-27T22:20:00.000-05:00Tami,I just read your story about your Dad and I a...Tami,<BR/><BR/>I just read your story about your Dad and I am amazed at how well you could write it. I'm sure your Dad knows how much you loved him and still do. I know it is hard but to be able to take your kids to his grave and get thru that is great. Keep doing it and by the way, I think you should go ahead and bake that chocolate pie....just for yourself and your Dad and your family. He sure would love it. I loved your story and don't know how you did it, but it brought tears and I miss him greatly.

God knew though, he prepared him, and took him when he needed to bring him home.<BR/>sorry for writing so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122445.post-1150691824833064002006-06-18T23:37:00.000-05:002006-06-18T23:37:00.000-05:00Your father will get to see you, and your children...Your father will get to see you, and your children and how wonderful they turned out on that Glorious Day that we are all looking forward to. Until then, remain strong. I'll pray for you and keep you in my heart. <BR/>P.S. I've always liked that verse about a the speck and the log; it's so direct and alsmot...convicting.

We get so caught up in our lives that we don't stop to really look at things from different points of view. I judge people without waiting a heartbeat. That verse about the speck in a brother's eye and the log in mine always speaks to me.
