My dad passed away almost two years ago at the age of 83. Today is his birthday. He was a sweet daddy who loved his God and his family. He had a servant's heart and delighted in helping others. He was responsible and organized which made him a good leader. He was a good handy-man and was always up to taking on most any small project.
In God's mercy, I was able to spend the last week of his life with him. During that time, I was assured that he was ready to go and we had the opportunity to say good-bye. I take great comfort in knowing that he is in heaven enjoying his reward for being a "good and faithful servant". He loved to sing so I know he is happy singing with the multitudes praising his savior. One day, I will join him and my mom there. What a day that will be!
