Father's Day WITHOUT a Father

Todays entry is written by my daughter Celeste. It's a Letter she wrote in Memory of her Daddy for Father's Day who was killed by a drunk driver on Mother's Day 2008

It is Father’s Day. At one time I would of looked forward to this day for weeks, spent months trying to find the perfect present for Daddy, and then trying to keep it a secret from him, which I only managed about half the time, lol. It would have been a day of all of us getting together and filled laughter and wonderful memories, now it is just a day of memories, memories of a Daddy that I will not see on earth again because of a drunk driver. So I will honor him and think of all the wonderful memories that I have of him, like trying not make him laugh when he was driving because his eyes would squinch up and he would have tears rolling down his cheeks, of the pride in his eyes whenever I would be one of the first ones to quote the Scripture for the month at school, of the only time that he ever spanked me, but made sure to roll me up in blankets so he wouldn’t hurt me. The times we would go trawling in the little boat that we had and we would find a little dam in the water and would tie up the boat and the girls and I would go crabbing while he would fish and then beat off the alligator with his pole while it tried to take his fish. The memory of the absolute pride and joy in his eyes when he saw his grandchildren for the first time. The love in his eyes when he looked at Momma and knowing that one day, the man that I married would look at me the same way. Watching him pray over us and worshiping God in church and in his everyday life and determining that the man that I would marry would love God more than me, just like Daddy. These are just some of the many memories that I have of my Daddy, they are more precious than jewels to me. I know it is kind of a cliché, but go and give your Daddy a big hug, You never know if it is going to be the last time you see him. I am so grateful that my last memory of Daddy was laughing with him, kissing him, giving him a big hug and kiss and telling him that I would see him later, especially since we had planned to go out for his birthday the next week. I love you Daddy and I will see you again one day, just hopefully not to soon!!

Your daughter did a lovely job writing this. I too lost my Daddy as a teen and I was born on Father's Day, so it is sometimes hard not to be sad. I do not know how people do it without the Lord. I do not really know you but I pray for you - we are sisters in the Lord. (Your befriended me on FB - either through Dixon girls or Gleanint The Harvest) My prayers go up for you and the girls this weekend. May you feel His Peace!

I just wanted to let you know that today is the 1 yr anniversary that Forrest Times was killed in the motorcycle accident. I thought you might want to let LaNelle know that you're praying for her.

Blessings from Ohio...
