My Dad

This week-end is father’s day. This will be the first one without my dad. Dad went to be with the Lord in September of 2007. The days since his passing have been filled with tears, pain, and a deep sense of lose. My dad was my Hero. I don’t say that in some sappy sentimental way but with the true sense of what that word means and conveys.
What makes my dad a hero? Here are a few things …
• He loved my mother, they were married 58 years
• He told his stories, he opened his life to me
• He prayed for me
• He lead me to Jesus
• He set an example of sacrifice and service
• He lived out his faith not just on Sundays
• He treated all of us children differently but loved us the same
• He inspires me to be a hero for Tara, Caleb, and Calah
I could go on; in fact I have in a book about his life. Happy Father’s day dad, enjoy it with The Father!
