Years ago someone asked me, who was the greatest man alive.
Without hesitation I said, my daddy. He is my Hero! A man
in my eyes who stood as tall as a mountain, shoulders as
wide as the sea, eyes as blue as the sky, he meant the world
to me.
There are so many memories I have of daddy. But this one,
was very special to us. As children when we would get
ready to go somewhere, we would get the biggest kick out
of pulling daddy's fingers, while he was setting down and
we would say "One for the money - Two for the show -
Three get ready and lets go" and we would pull real hard and
daddy would just grin really big and would stand up.
Daddy made life so much fun.
He was a Christian man and loved the Lord with all he had.
I am so glad mother and daddy brought us up in the Church
and to know that the good Lord is always with us. Baby
told me Wednesday, when the Lord took daddy home. That
he lived his life to serve and to one day see Jesus and she
said "now his dream has come true." There is no doubt in
my heart where daddy is today. On April the fourth the Lord
needed an Angel and out of all the people in the world, he
chose the very best, our daddy!
Everyone that is here today knew and loved daddy. He was
one of a kind! He lived 34 glorious years and I am so proud
to have been able to call him daddy and love him for part of
those 34 years. He always said, "death on this earth, that's
not the end but just the beginning." His memory and his love
lives on through each one of us here today.
Daddy will never be far, for we will always carry his love in
our hearts. I know one day I will see him again, so for now
daddy, "One for the money - Two for the show - Three get
ready.......and now, I have to let go.
I miss you Daddy!!
