Life & Death

My father passed away on July 27th....I miss him dearly- but God has never failed me. It hurts, it hurts a lot... but I have now found peace about his death. Prior to his death, I never knew how I would go on if he died. Next to my sister- he was my best friend. In the more recent years- we constantly talked and spent more time together, but it still never seems like enough. I was there when he took his last breath. That day my sister & I spent time reading scripture after scripture to his almost comatose body. And we prayed, we prayed like never before & God heard our prayers! My dad went peacefully and was welcomed into the gates of heaven and received into Gods opened arms.

I thank God- for he is great....he is keeping me through this hard time, like he always has. I take great joy in remembering my daddy's life. He was a strong man and he fought long and hard. I commend my father for keeping secrets- secrets as in his last days that would have broke our hearts. He constantly worried about his children and their happiness. My dad's legacy will forever live on!!! I love you daddy! Thank you Lord for the peace that surpasses all understanding and for mending my heart and bringing light into my darkness. For you are my Comforter, my Rock, my Fortress and much much more!!
