Dedication To My Father * * Dear Daddy:
It has been almost
two years since you went away. My life has not been easy; especially after the foolish choice I made about
the man I introduced to you and later married. Like my terrible choice for a husband, I have done quite a few things that hurt your heart, but I have done a few good things that would make
you proud of me.
I have a good relationship with your grandchildren David and Tara. David has his CDL Drivers' License and works as a security guard;
Tara finished her first year in nursing school. Tara's father played
no important part in her life; because of good home training from
you I have been both mother and father. Daddy, my children are perfect gifts from Jehovah. Like you (and like me) they both have the gift of speech.
And they both still believe in Jehovah.
Daddy, the situation
through which I now suffer helps me appreciate how good you were as a father. You had problems -- we all do, but you never left your children. You
worked hard to provide for your children.
Based on how your children
and grandchildren are doing, I can truthfully say that you
did a pretty good job training us. Just like you loved us, we love our children too and appreciate them as
gifts from Jehovah God.
One million Ehigies could never hold
a candle to you, Daddy. You are the best.
I am
sorry that I did not appreciate your love and devotion to me until
it was too late.
I will always love you, Daddy. Thank you for giving me life, and thank you for loving me.
I will always miss you.
