Rest Sweet Father



My sweet, wonderful, awesome, strong, loving, loved, adored, God fearing, God loving, inspiring, my rock, my role model, my blessing, the one who showed me Jesus everyday of his life, FATHER, passed away today.

It just don't seem right writing that. We were just so sure that he would make it through this and be home soon, playing with his dogs, cat, riding his tractor, getting ready for hunting season, thinking about his garden next summer, playing, living, breathing, sleeping, talking, walking and even arguing (some) with us for several more years.

I know he's with Jesus and that is my comfort. But I am human, I am flawed, I am jealous. I want my Dad here, alive and healthy.

He was loved, he loved, he was my father, he is my father. I will miss him.

He will certainly be missed by me. I love you, mom, and I wish I could be there with you and the rest of the family. I am thinking of you.

I'll forever hold him dear to my heart. I have such lovely memories and experiences with Grandpa, Gramdma and all of you. Love you Aunt Velda. Xoxo
