Missing my dad today. 14 years ago God decided that he needed my dad more than us here on earth. I love to recall our last conversation before he passed. You see he was my (step) dad. But I would never call him that. He was a dad to me in every stretch of the imagination. Our skin may have been a different color to the outside world. To us we we were no different. This man taught me so much. I know I say it a lot but I know I would not be half the woman I am today with out his influence. Joshua Thomas Stoldt was given his middle name because it was my dads middle name. This boy continues to be an amazing person and is living up to the name he was given. He is a respectable, honest, caring young man. Makes me proud every day of who he is becoming. Each of my boys make me proud in some way. Ryan for his drive to learn the business. Cameron for his sensitivity. All growing into such good men. A funny story: Dad called me one evening 2 days before he passed. We had the gift to gab to each other. We were just about to hang up when he said Bran (my nick name)....even though God took away my son at birth (dad had a still born with his first wife)....He gave me the best daughter in the world! For me that was a gift. He was my gift.... I knew he love me as his own but for him to have said that to me just before he passed suddenly was truly my gift. God put him in my moms and my life for good reason. I will never know the reason why he took him from us. It is apparent God needed an angel and dad is now with is son whom he didnt have an opportunity to raise. But he raised me and I only hope I am making him proud on the woman who he helped mold me into.
