A gift from my dad

My dad gave me this Bible on my 15th birthday, the same year that I became a Christian and I shared it 6 years ago on the 10th year anniversary of his passing. I thought it was really cool that it showed up today in my memories the day after Father’s Day this year. I especially love his inscription to me in the last paragraph, “whenever you need me, I’ll be here for you and when I can’t be just remember Jesus is in your heart now, so you can talk to Him!!”

The Bible says in Psalm 68:5 that God is “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling.” (NIV) So, I’m grateful that even though my earthly father is no longer with me, I still have a Father in Heaven who looks over and cares for me! 🥰🙌

FATHER’S DAY POEM I WROTE FOR MY GRANDFATHER

My grandfather and me

Since tomorrow is Father’s Day, I wanted to share this poem I wrote for my grandfather on Father’s day while he was in the hospital. He passed away in 2006, then I lost my dad a year later in 2007. I created a tribute page for him that you can view at the link below this post. 🙂

I wrote this poem for you to tell you how I feel
that you are very special to me and that one day I hope you will
Know how much you mean to me and though I’ve sometimes let you down
I want to see your smiling face and always need you around
You have always been there for me through the toughest times
And now you are hurting and no one knows why
My heart is full of sadness to see you feel this way
You are always in my heart and every night I pray
That God will take away your pain and bring you back home
to where you belong and to never feel alone
I love you very much and I wanted you to know
that my heart is always with you where ever you may go.

Tribute to my grandmother

Jo Ann Walker 4/8/27 – 7/3/18

I wrote the following poem to read at her funeral

I wrote this little poem to say how much you mean to me
I’ll miss your love for chocolate milk, Judge Judy and jeopardy
You were always there for me
whenever I needed you
You always made me feel better
whenever I was feeling blue
Your love for history
made you the perfect candidate
To help me with my school projects,
so they would not be late
You were a very strong woman,
one whom I admire
Your knowledge, wisdom and generosity are some things to which I aspire
It really hurt to see you suffer,
you just wanted the pain to cease
I’m sad to see you go,
but I’m glad you are finally at peace
