I thought of you today, 

but that is nothing new. 

I thought about you yesterday

and days before that too. 

I think of you in silence, 

I often speak your name. 

All I have are memories and 

your picture in a frame.

Your memory is a keepsake

from which I'll never part. 

God has you in His arms, 

I have you in my heart.

February marks two important dates of the year.  Valentine's day of course as well as my most dreaded day of the year...the anniversary of my fathers death February 28.  In honor of him I will be posting for the rest of this month things that remind me of my dad.  Quotes, memories, pictures, and random things my father loved.  

12 year anniv. of your passing approaching. Seriously is this real life? Just doesn't seem right...NEVER understand why?!? Miss your big grin, entertaining and lively personality. But most of all I miss how little and loved you'd make me feel with your big bear hugs!! Made me feel like a princess everyday, you were my prince daddy, my first love. Still feels like your on a business trip. I'm waiting for you to walk through the front door and I'll run to greet you. Miss you terribly daddy. Idk what God lets you hear but hear me tonight daddy, I Love you more!! ♥

Below you will see a drawing an artist drew of my father in his army attire while deployed during the Vietnam war. 19 years of age.

My hero, my daddy, my heart, my memory, my
tears, my hurt. Love you &miss you so daddy!! XoXoXo

One of my favorite quotes: 

I AM A CHRISTIAN

When i say..."I am a Christian" 

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." 

I'm whispering "I was lost 

Now I'm found and forgiven." 

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble 

and need Christ to be my guide. 

When i say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

And need His strength to carry on. 

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed 

And need God to clean m mess. 

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect, 

My flaws are far too visible

But, God believes I am worth it. 

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain. 

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon His name. 

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow!
