My Dad

I don't think you could ever find a better man than my dad.  He had a strange sense of humor but he was a strong man always ready to work and lend a hand to anyone in need.  I don't think I have ever seen any one
more in love with his wife than daddy. 
He loved us, too.  He was proud of everyone of his kids.  He loved all of mother's brothers and sisters like his own as well.  I really miss him a lot.  MANY peoples needs were met because my dad worked hard and was willing to allow mother to give when she saw the need.


Daddy stepped in many a time and did for Bethany what her own dad and later step dad was not willing to do.  He loved me and he loved Bethany and him and mama gave above and beyond to help me take good care of her. 
Jaxon loved daddy and he was sad when dad was gone.  I know because he would look at dad's picture and shake his head and moan sometimes after daddy passed away.

He loved both my boys.  He was already feeble and barely able to hold Jordan but he loved to talk to the boys and play with them.
He was as proud of them as he was all his grands and great grands.

Daddy I miss you!  Wish I had been a much better caregiver.  If you was here today I would try harder.  Forgive me for my down failings and love me anyway!  I believe he did!

Happy Father's Day to all.
