Papaw, you were the best papaw/dad in the world!! I will miss you so much but I find such peace and comfort in knowing that you are with Jesus in Heaven. What you've worked and strived for your whole life. You were EVERYTHING to me! You were kind, loving, caring, giving.....I could go on and on and on. The fruits your bore is evidence to what a wonderful person you were here on this earth.....words did not need to be spoken! I love you Papaw...You walked on water in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteDad, You were the BEST of everything thing to me. You taught me so many things in my life. Teaching me how to ride my bike (In the snow and ice) lol, Mow the lawn just right and to take care of always making sure I checked the oil so I wouldn't burn it up. Taking care of the car, " If you drive you need to be responsible for it"! You taught me that your job is important that you need to be there that others were depending on you!.Oh my I could go on forever. But most of all you taught me LOVE... for my Parents with respect, my siblings, my animals, AND the Great Love of our JESUS CHRIST LORD and SAVIOR. what more could one person want? NOTHING. Dad your were such a great inspiration in so many lives, everyone you had contact with they loved you because you were just so kind and gentle to all and your love bleed through to others. I miss you so bad but know you are in Heaven and that was your life long striving goal and you made it!. I am so thankful I had the honor and joy of taking care of you as I was taught to do it gives me peace in my heart for such fond memories of what we talked about and what you said to me even from your eyes. I will think of you constantly because I am what you have instilled into me.
ReplyDeleteDad Your work was done here on this Earth now you go REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN in HEAVEN ,and be with the LORD.
Love Sandra
