Dad...missing YOU

Today I am sad.I miss my dad. I often think of him and miss him horribly. I miss all things Daddy. His Hugs, his smile, his loud voice and laugh, his presence, but I miss his encouragement the most. He was MY cheerleader...my support...he always had "my back". I could always depend on him. It's been almost 9 months.... I'm very grateful that I do have the memories of him in my head but mostly in my heart. God, you are my heavenly Father. I used to get hugs from you through my earthly Father... among other things. You used my earthly father to show me YOUR love..your unconditional love.... like nothing else. Thank you Lord, for giving me such an amazing man... there will never be another "MOE" but there are definitely parts of "MOE" that are still here.... I have his loud laugh and JOY, Gregg has your leadership and Joan has your strength... actually, we all have your strength...and stubborness. :-) Kiana has your caring heart, Luke has your love for all things military, Logan has your playfulness. I miss you. I miss everything about you...but mostly your hugs.
