SPECIAL EDITION HONORING MY FATHER ON
FATHER'S
DAY
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Happy Father’s Day to all Fathers……
This Sunday is indeed a Special Day. It is a
day set aside to honor our Fathers for the contributions
and sacrifices they have made for us. We take this
time to recognize all of the Fathers on this
day. I lost my Father in June, 1981
but I have never forgotten the positive influence that
he had on my life. My Father only had a 9th
grade education, yet he was the smartest man I have ever
known because he had “common sense.” He gave
me an example for me to follow in order to raise my
children and to be a great grandfather to my 8
grandchildren. Listed below is a note that I wrote
in the Bible that he left for me relating to that most
tragic day of his death.
If your Father is still living, then be sure that on
this day set aside for him that you show your
appreciation for him, not necessarily with a gift, but
with words of “Thank you” and “I love you.” It
will do your heart good and his as well.
“On June 5th, 1981, I had just come home from work
and sat down for a rest. The phone rang and
Frances(my wife) said, “Something is wrong with your
Daddy.” I ran to get my keys and went to Dad’s
house. I’ll never forget the sight as I heard
Mom’s broken voice as Dad was slumped in the swing in
Mom’s arms. I grabbed Dad from Mom’s arms and
placed him on the ground and started mouth to mouth
resescitation as Mom went to call my sister.
As I close my eyes to this day, I can see the
pain on Dad’s face as life was flowing out of his
body. As I breathed into his body, I prayed
to God to help us, but God wanted Dad with Him. My
thoughts relating to life is that God with one breath
can create life, yet the many times I saw Dad’s chest
rise and fall, I, as a human could do nothing.
Tears streaming from my face dripped on Dad’s face as
I felt he was going to meet his Maker, whom he loved so
much. EMS arrived and they worked as hard as they
could but God had made His decision. As they took
Dad to the ambulance, I knew in my heart that he was
gone.
Mom and I went on to the hospital. When the
ambulance arrived and they took Dad out, I saw that he
was gone. After a while, the doctor confirmed Dad’s
passing and I told the family. I remember calling
my children and telling them about their grandfather’s
death. It was devastating to them in losing a
grandfather that they loved so much and a grandfather
that loved each of them dearly and showed it.
The memory of my Dad will never leave my
mind. He and my Mom have been examples to me, my
wife and to their grandchildren, that I think it makes
God smile.
I hope I can be half the parent to my
children as Dad and Mom have been to me and if God lets
me be a grandparent, I know the example that I want to
follow. If I can be just a little bit like my Dad,
I’ll be a great father and grandfather.”
Happy Father’s Day,
Dad. I miss you.
The things we miss most are the things we
have loved and
lost.
