It is just a date but already, three times to be exact today I have broken out in tears. Today marks two years without my dear father. I miss him a lot and for heaven sakes, it is just a number on a calendar but I feel especially sad today. BUT, I am incredibly grateful for Awesome friends and family that have contacted me already this morning, remembering my father and lifting me up in prayer. I could have never imagined the pain that this loss brings but I am thankful for all the memories shared with me this morning about my dad confirming everything I know to be true and more of him.
Thank God for the blessings I have!
REMEMBERING My Dad
I love MY DAD

I saw a picture of him the other day.
You have the same joyful look in your eyes.
I'll be praying for you today, Tirza.
I did not know your Dad well enough to write a memory about him. But I do know how much you love each other. I will be praying for you and your family. Love ya
Tirza,
I wanted you to know I've been thinking about your Dad today, on the
anniversary of his "moving" to Heaven. Last weekend I was up in the deer
woods in a tree and the memories came to me of how I was up in a tree that
Saturday when I got the call to come back to the hospital because your Dad
was slipping away.
What a wonderful guy . . . you're a lucky girl to have had a fine man like
that for a Dad. I'll never forget those last days . . . that last night
that I got to spend the night in his room.
I'm sure it still hurts, but know that your Dad is with our Savior and that
we'll join him one day.
Love you dear friend,
Chip
Bert and I along with Veronica recently came back from a trip to Las Vegas . While we Were out there, Veronica wanted to see her cousins in California and we made the 5 hr. trip out there. As We got close to where I was when I was a little boy, a particular memory came to me. I was around 9 or 10 and I remember waking up one morning because I felt nudging in my back, when I turned it was Rudy, he was back from Vietnam and he surprised us. I remember hugging him and not wanting to let go, I was so happy to see him.He’s with me all the time.You take care, and give your kids a hug from me. I’ll see you later. ~ Uncle Art
I also had my moments of sadness and uncontrollable crying today. I can't believe it's been 2 years already. These last two years have definately been the worst years of my life for many reasons, but mostly I just miss my dad! As you may remember we had a special hand shake that we only did with each other. He was my best friend and I love him so much!! Every time we went golfing was special to me. I would always think to myself as we rode around the course in the cart "There is no place else I'd rather be right now than right here with my dad." Besides the hand shake, I would always kiss his face when I saw him. Don't get it twisted-He was a real man's man, but I think he liked when I did that. "Little"Rudy wrote a comment about his grandpa on his Facebook. It made me lose it all over again.
I miss grandpa so much!!
I'm very proud to be named after him!

The Joy you have even still to this day when you speak of your dad is awesome.
