I love you so much, Dad. I’m SO thankful you are still here with us after your life altering stroke. What a blessing to spend more time together and get to watch you meet your great grandson, Elijah and great granddaughter, Adeline.
I’d be lying, though, if I didn’t say I miss our conversations and our debates. I miss your wisdom and sound advice. I miss your sharing the love of God with me and others.
With that loss acknowledged, I am also so thankful for the laughter we are still able to enjoy together. For the knowing looks you give and your tight hugs and deep sighs when we pray before bed. Despite your limited ability to speak, we still have YOU, and I am so grateful for that. I am a blessed daughter to have you for a father. Still praying for a miracle, yet, accepting this new normal in our father-daughter relationship. The foundation you have built and continue to provide is so solid, so good, so so grounding to the person I have become.
Happy Father’s Day, Dad. May God bless you and see fit to breathe words into you. May you hear His voice regularly. In your quiet time with Him, may you have full blown conversations because He hears you, knows your heart, and understands everything you want to express. 💚
Faith, Family & Life
