Missing my Daddy

It's taken me 2 weeks to write this and I can't guarantee I'll be getting through this without tears. 

My daddy went to be with Jesus on September 14, 2013. He was 60 years old, married to his best friend for almost 40 years and had 2 daughters, Christine & me (Kimberly). 

Although he's no longer with us here on Earth, I find comfort in knowing that I'll see him again one day in Heaven. 

My Sis and I were blessed more than ever to care for him the last 2 weeks of his life. I'm really thankful for that time and the many conversations we had on our way home from dialysis Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. My dad wasn't one of those guys that wanted help, he always wanted to do it himself, but I'm so very thankful that he let us care for him. After all, he cared for us growing up. 

I miss him more than anything and it's moments like right now, as I sit in a room, nursing my sweet Jayden, that I start reminiscing and I start crying. He was a handsome man, loving and also very stubborn, (hmm, wonder where I get that from ;)) he also knew history, was goofy, loved making songs up about farting, (lol) best of all, he was a Christian, a fellow believer in Christ! He was a wonderful daddy, the best dad I could have ever asked for! I'm thankful for all the wonderful memories we shared as a family. I'm so very thankful he was able to be apart of Jayden's life for 11 1/2 months! 

Thank you daddy for everything you taught me! You are greatly missed! I love you more than you'll ever know!
