My best friend .. I will see you again, one day...

My dad and I were not very close growing up. But in more recent years that changed and I'm very thankful it did. He may not have been a very affectionate person but he loved and cared about his kids very much. He would do anything for us. He's helped me out in so many ways even when he didn't have to. Many people who weren't around him often may not have seen the side to him that those who were around him saw. My dad had a good heart and he cared about people. He went as far as to tell people about Jesus and how important it was to know him as Lord and Savior. He would rather step out of his comfort zone than see someone not make it to heaven. He may have been rough sometimes but from being with him day in and day out when I lived with them that's not the person he wanted to be. He even told me one day how much he prayed about his behavior and that God would help him. I loved my talks with my dad. I'm a deep person like him. So our discussions went a little deeper. We used to love to talk about God, Christ and the end times. Bible prophecy was a hot topic with us. Or just talking in general with my dad. I'm going to miss that. Because he had a relationship with our Lord he is in glory with mom and I can't wait until I get to see them again. My heart hurts now but it's temporary compared to what's waiting. I love you dad always and forever. I'm sad you're not here with us anymore but I'm so thankful you're with mom!

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
