As it gets closer, I am remembering the things my Dad & I did together. How he gave his love and understanding. How back when I was a young girl dating he taught me many things. He also trusted me and I would never done anything to betray that trust. I feel sorry for my sons that didn't have a father to teach them things. I did have my dad around for them but not long enough.
Now two of my sons are grandpas. They both love their grandchildren. And that makes me happy.
I'm going to stop before this gets sappy. Love Your Dad! Also remember your heavenly Father!

It's great that you had such a wonderful relationship with your father! =)
A father's place in his children's lives is very special indeed.
It is wonderful to see the next generation coming along. I imagine your children are always your children, and to see them excel as grandparents is just a fulfilling as seeing them learn to ride a bike, marry the right girl, or raise godly children.
Joyce, I want to most especially thank you for your sweet words on my post about our friend's death. I knew you would understand the impact better than most of us. My hubby was able to get away for the afternoon, Wednesday, and we drove up for the viewing. His sweet wife was *very* out of it. Clearly, still in a state of shock. I'm so glad we went though; she had been asking for me.
Now that I've learned a back way there, I might to try to return in a few weeks and spend some time alone with her. I think she's been in such a fog that the worst for her is actually yet to come. Please pray that I'll be sensitive to God's guidance in whether to/or when to do this. And please do continue to pray for my friend and her girls.
Thank you ((Joyce)).
Jodi,
Your friend will need your support and caring.
Right now there is probably alot of people around but they are not around in a couple of weeks.
She may need your encouragement but let her know that we all show our grief in many ways and at different times. Tell her it is alright to do it her way. I am so glad you got to go up Wednesday.
I pray for her and her children. I hope someone lets the little one its okey to celebrate her birthday. Her father would want her to.
Bless you for being there for her.
Joyce ~ it just dawned on me that I answered you back on my blog! What a goof I am sometimes - *laughing at myself*. Thank you so much for your response; it was encouraging to me.
