In Heaven

This is something that I found and wanted to put up for my kids. Today is 2 months that dad was killed by a drunk driver. Times I'm sitting and waiting for him to come home but that is not gonna happen cause he is already home. He is with our Heavenly Father, Jesus. When I saw this picture is just did something to me and had to post it. Love ya and thanks for all the prayers.

My Mom

My Mom

    This entry will be dedicated to my mom who is a strong, awesome woman of God.

    My mom is an awesome woman. She has been the strong one of the family. She might not think she is.
    She has kept this family together. She has also helped me not to hate the guy that killed my dad. I had so much hatred that if he would still be alive I would go and give him a piece of my mind. But I can’t cause he is gone.
    She has been a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, sister-in-law and so on. She has blessed so many people that she doesn’t even know it. For the funeral, right before it was finished she went up and call all of her kids and spoke maybe for 15 minutes and those 15 minutes was awesome. She ministered on how wives if you love your husbands tell them that cause you never know when it will be the last you hear from them. When she was finished she had a standing ovation. She said that it was God. I believe her cause she had a speech all prepared and she didn’t even use it.
    Since we have been home, she has blessed us. She has ministered to us. She has shown us how to love her mate till the end. She still loves him and it hurts to see her in so much pain. A lot of times she is so strong that her emotions don’t show, but there are days that we talk and then cry cause it hurts so much that I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
    My days have been sitting around mom and absorbing her love for God and for her family. I keep thinking that this is a nightmare and that we will wake up and dad will be walking in the door saying “What’s for supper? And sorry that I worried everybody and that I was alright.” And then I realize that day will never happen again. But I know that I will see him again and I will still be able to learn the stuff that he wasn’t able to show me.
    My 6 year old daughter had a dream one nite not long after dad’s accident. That her and Grandpa was sitting in a hallway and that they were visiting each other and that he told her to let us know that he was alright and not to worry that he was in a better place and that he was not hurting and that he loves us and he will see us soon. And then she got up and started walking away and that she was crying and that her heart was hurting. And then he went away. So when I’m down and out I think of her dream and have reassurance that I will see him.

A New Month

A New Month

    Hey. Not to much going on here. I am now in Alabama trying to take care of mom and my 2 sisters. We left on Sunday, June 1st, to bring mom back home. We had to rent a uhaul to bring all my dad’s stuff home. He had 3 containers full of tools that he had in his car and some that he had to do my classroom. We also had 9 plants that was given at his funeral. Mom gave some to the kids, so she left like 6 of them down the bayou. We caught some rain coming to Al. not to much though. We left at 10:15 a.m. and got here at 7:30p.m. We have had some good days and some bad days.
    I will be here (Al.) for 1 month and then we should be going home. We will try to go home that day depends on how we feel the day we leave. Please keep our family in your prayers.
    I pray that this hurting that I feel will go away. It has been hard for me to be at mom’s. Usually when we are here, dad was always with us. He is suppose to be coming home in the morning, but we know that will not happen. The first 3weeks went by so fast. It seems like it was just yesterday that the accident happened. Since we have been here at mom’s, which has only been 5 days, has felt like 2 months.
    Father’s Day we were suppose to be celebrating it with the family. Mom and the girls were suppose to be coming down with dad on the 13th to spend Father’s Day with us. I bought him a card and wrote in it so I couldn’t bring it back. I told mom bout it and she will put it in a scrapbook that she bought to put all dad’s things that we found at the crash site.

DAD

I think of you often,
And always with love.

I think about
How hard you work,
And how much you do
For the family.

I remember
Things you’ve taught me
And times you’ve encouraged me,
And I see how your wisdom and caring
Have helped shape my life.

I look back
On favorite memories
That remind me how much
We’ve always meant to each other,
And always will….

There are so many times
When I think of you, Dad,
And feel proud
And thankful
And very lucky
You’re my father.

Happy Father’s Day
With Love,

Sandy

I could not have picked out a better card than the one that I got for dad.
