Happy Birthday, Dad.

Today would have been dads 78th birthday. I found after he was gone, that it was harder on Fathers day, than on his birthday.

This year, with mom gone, too. it has been a bit of a harder day.

When I was quite young, I had a dog named Peanuts, who was pint sized. :)

She went everywhere with me that she could. She rode in my bicycle basket, she heard all my secrets, she was my best friend. Mom even let her come in the house sometimes. She would go in the living room, get up in moms recliner and sit with her head on the arm of the chair, and watch me.

One time dad told me he thought I loved my dog more than I loved him. I climbed up on his lap and told him, "No, daddy, you're the best dog in the whole world."

After that, I would gt him fathers day and birthday cards with dog son them. especially after I moved out on my own. Most of the time I would sign them, "You're still the best dog in the whole world! Love, Sharon"

Sometimes dad would call me and when I would say hello, he would bark in the phone.



I miss dad more now that mom is gone, but I know they are together again.

I know we cannot turn back the hands of time, and if we could, would we? For our own selfish reasons we would bring back our parents, or loved ones..................but would they even want to come back, once they have seen heaven?
Heaven becomes nearer and dearer to us here, as loved ones pass on before us, especially when we can have that assurance that they are in heaven and we will see them again one day.
I miss mom and dad, but I would not bring them back. Not to this world that is going crazy, this world that is turning its back on God.

Mom and dad are the blessed ones, along with other of my family and my dear friend LeAnn. they are with Jesus, they have seen heaven and tasted of its glory. They are whole again, no pain, no suffering, no cancer, no memory loss.

I miss you dad.............I miss you mom..............
I'll see you some sweet day!
