One Month

My dad went home to be with his Lord and Savior one month ago today. I miss my dad more than I could ever imagine possible. He was my hero, one of my very, very best friends, and a better dad than many will ever know. Through his own example, he taught me what unconditional love looks like. He brightened all of my days with his gentle spirit, contagious smile, and silly jokes. He showed me that the best things in life aren't things and how wonderful it is to not be be anxious about the temporal worries of this world. Most of all, he loved the Lord with all his heart and demonstrated to me what a pure, wholehearted relationship with God looks like and how greatly it impacts our earthly relationships.

I can't wait until the day when he welcomes me to heaven, when I will be able to hug him and talk to him again, and when we will no longer be apart. I cannot even begin to describe the blessing that God has given to me through my dad and, I am sure He will continue to bless others through him, even after his death. I praise the Lord for the time I have had with my dad, every day was precious. God is good and His ways are perfect. He will ever amaze me with what He has in store for myself and my family. And just as my dad would always tell me, I know that God has a plan for us.

"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. May the name of the Lord be praised."
Job 1:21

I will love my dad forever.
