I wanted to share that my Dad was the most influential person in my life.  He worked two jobs, took on extra work to make sure that his family had what it needed.  He was always willing to help others. The most important thing was that he loved the Lord and lived it out in his life.  So many times, I hear people say that they are Christians, but it don't show in their actions. I only hope that I can be half the Christian and man that my father was.  He was not rich or well known but he loved his family.  He sacrificed so that we could succeed.  He loved his grandchildren and always was there for them.  He had trouble getting around the last few years but always was there for his grandkids.  He would come to Matt's games and not being able to get around well, he would sit in the car and watch the game.  He would pick my kids up from school and I remember him struggling to get back into the house after picking them up. He loved spending time with them. He loved my mother. He did not want to be a bother to her, because of her great love for him.  I know that she did not consider it a bother, but dad was a man of pride. I know that it was hard on him to place so much on my mom at the end. I really feel that might have been his prayer his last night. I think he wanted people to remember him for the kind, loving and Christian man that he was than to be remember the struggle he was going through and the extra work that would of been placed on my mother.  I really think God granted his wish and brought him home , where the pain is gone and his struggle is over. Well done my good and faithful servant. Love you Dad!
