Thanks for sharing such a beautiful post.

Gosh! I miss him too - more than you'll ever imagine! But, I think he's up there encouraging us on! I still wear his ring. What a rock he was, and so wise
We were so blessed that God put him in our lives! What a Dad he was. That morning in the hospital with Pastor John on one side and Pastor Phil on the other; he knew that he was not going to that wedding! As disappointed as he was - he thought only of me being there. He had to be scared, but he was willing for me to leave him to be with you. Guys like him are few and far between! Unselfish to the core! I so much wish he could have gone home with his family around him.

No fair sneaking in a sad post on me! I'm just glad nobody's down here right now.

My dad died three months before my daughter (his first grandchild) was born. My wife sang at the funeral, very pregnant. I always thought he'd been ripped off, because he'd done so much to help us get ready - he even bought the crib.

Memories are good things, though. And I figure he's up there making fun of me still (he always was good at that!). Thanks for this post -- I'm sure it was tough to write.

And a warning -- Bob Carlisle has a bunch of REALLY sad songs, some worse than Butterfly Kisses. His dad died while he was a member of Allies, and he wrote several songs about his grief -- I read one at my Dad's funeral -- used to love that song, now I bawl every time I hear it.

What a week we had, huh? I still tear up every time I play Blessed Assurance (which I got to do Saturday afternoon, surprisingly enough).

I could go on at great length about our father, and what a great and godly man he was. I just hope there's a piano player in heaven that can get the rhythm right.
