Daddy

If my Dad were alive, today he would be 113 years old.  My father passed away in 1972 at the age of 74.  I was very angry with God for a long time that he took my Dad.  It was kind of a "miracle" that I got over that anger.    I have not forgotten him even tho he has been gone 39 years. 

At one time I panicked because I could not remember my Dad's face.  That was probably just a few years after he had passed away.  Maybe 10 years.  I was so distraught by that.  A few nights later, I had a dream, and my dad was looking in a window at me, and do you know, I have never forgotten his face since then.

Daddy was the kindest, and strongest man I have ever known.  Oh not physically strong as he had polio as a young boy and suffered some physical problems from that.  But, Wow,, I was blessed to have him as my Dad.

Having a wonderful daddy is truly one of the nicest blessings God gives. I wish EVERYONE could have daddy's like you and I had. I understand how you feel. I really wish I could have known your dad better. I was so little when he died. But, I did get to meet him, and I know someday I will be able to get to know him! : )
