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.

  1. Janet - This was lovely. I know how much you miss your dear dad. And I know that it has left a big hole in your heart. God will continue to fill your life with His blessings, His direction...and His love.

    I can't wait to meet your dad!! I'm going to share a big old belly laugh with him, and tell him what a blessing it is to know his daughter!!

    GOD BLESS!
