Yesterday marked 3 years since my dad passed away suddenly from a massive heart attack. It was a day of remembering, reflecting, and many other things. I truely can’t believe it has been 3 years.
I loved…
- weekly notes from him in the mail (sometimes daily)
- that he was a good listener and encourager
- that he had a great sense of humor
- that he loved bubble gum (at least 5 pieces in his mouth at a time!)
- that he was a great counselor to hundreds of middle schoolers
- that he cared deeply about his family
- that at the end of every letter he would write…”I love you more than all the sand on the beach, or I love you more than all the stars in the sky…”
- that he loved to shop, ps. he did most of the Christmas shopping
- that he loved to work in the yard, and plant flowers
- that he loved pens (he probably had 5,000, really)
- that he loved the Lord
- that he loved his wife unconditionally
- that he loved me unconditionally
- that he served and gave constantly
I miss everything about my dad. I love you dad!
