*I Remember Daddy* - A New Month

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.

I was so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I've been praying for your family since I first read the news on your mother's blog. My dear Aunt and Uncle were and their cousin were killed by a speeding driver a few years back on there way to a family reunion. God is in control, but I know that it's still difficult.
Many blessings to you and your family.
