Dad

I can't help but think about him today..cause he was my dad. The guy I only got to know for just under twenty years. He was my best pal, the one who got to hear my thoughts first hand and the one who was my first love cause he knew me better than anyone else. I am thinking about him today cause this was his birthday and also the day he got to meet his daddies...his earthly daddy and his heavenly Daddy...Jesus. I never knew Grandpa cause he passed just a month before I was born..but I felt like I knew him cause Dad spoke of him often and I have his picture with Dad perched so proud on his knee. Dad was adopted into the family who raised him and he took their name because that is just what you do when those who love you enough to take you to be their own. I miss my father very much, even though it has been many years ago that he left..It was his birthday when he entered into his heavenly home. I think of that day as being heaven's gift. It wasn't a present, as much as it was a life taken from this earth and given back to a Father who loved him enough to share him with us, but needed him back for a reason that I will never know. I just know that someday we will be together again and it will be sort of like old times...only better!
