Just Thinking

We had a good evening. We went to eat then to a birthday party at the church house for one of our good sisters. It's her fiftieth.

We then took my mom home and that's when the thinking started. It sure is tough leaving her in the big house alone. I know it must be hard for her to go home at night by herself. I know she must miss dad so much.

I miss him more than you can know. I miss his gentle spirit and the way he treated others--always better than himself. I miss playing the guitar at the kitchen table singing tenor over him singing what ever Merle Haggard song we could think of. I miss him giving. He was just that kind of man. He would give his kids and grandkids whatever they (we) needed. He was the most generous man I ever knew. I miss the smell of the cabinet shop when he would come in from work. I miss him in my Sunday morning Bible class sitting with mom. I just miss him guys. I get him on my mind and want so desperately to just talk to him. But that can't happen here. I believe by faith that it will one day happen again and that is the only thing that keeps me sane.

How I wish he could hear me now tell him how much I love him and want to be with him. Maybe somehow he can. I just don't know about such things.

Thanks for listening to my "thinkings." I love you all so much!!
