Having to wake up this morning, I feel grateful because Jul 2012 my Father didnt wake up leaving behind a family that loved and cherished him. Was his death a shock? did I expect it?, did we miss something, because I was just with him earlier the day before...my mind knows every scripture to let me know that this was Gods will and I do try not to question it, but I can say it left me shattered. Today is my Dads birthday and as I was buying birthday cards for the many birthdays in September to pass by To Father cards was hard, but God saw fit to have a new selection of cards to buy from To Granddaughter. That same year, 2012 I was given a Granddaughter who really was supposed to be born on Sept 17, 2012 and I was torn, because I kept asking how can I celebrate on a day that I am really hurting, and thank goodness God allowed my Kennedy to be born a few days later. I remember when I was a young girl and my Dad would hear this song and all the while he would talk to me about Vietnam and the things he saw and did and this song seem to have brought out emotions in my Dad that was rarely shown. As I got older I began listening to the meaning of the song and for his Homegoing it was the fitting song for his life, because when your life is full of sin, when you die youll come back again...I thank God, I wont come back again. Hes truly missed, but never forgotten.
