A Very Rough Month

I haven't been on in awhile.  I wish there was a good reason but I am sad to say that it was not.  I Lost my daddy last week.  He went to sleep and woke up January 14, 2011 in heaven.  Oh how great my Lord is.  My daddy is in glory with Jesus.  This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to go through.  I cannot even explain the feelings I have.  I am in pain but I also have joy knowing my daddy is in heaven.  There is so much I want to say about my daddy. 

I am choosing each day to remember the good things and not to focus on his death. I learned so much from him.  I learned to fish and camp.  I learned to ride a motorcycle and went on some rides with him that I will never forget.  He was always there for me.  He would drive for hours to get to my basketball games and I don't remember him ever missing one.  He was there when my oldest daughter was born and was in the room with my third daughter.  He said he never wanted to be in there again.  Not for the reason you would think.  He said that he never wanted to see his child in pain like that again.  He walked me down the aisle and gave me away to the love of my life.  He was able to hold everyone of his grandchildren and love on them.  He had a very special bond with my youngest.  He was the one that was there the day she learned to walk and he was so proud that he taught her to walk.  He worked with her all afternoon and when I got back he had her walking all over.  There are so many things I am going to miss and so many future events where I know I will wish he was there but I know he is looking down from above as he rides his Harley down that golden street.  I miss you daddy.
