2 YEARS AGO TODAY WE BURIED MY DAD

2 YEARS AGO TODAY ME, MY HUBBY, AND BROTHER WERE IN MUNISING MICHIGAN LAYING MY FATHER TO REST BESIDE HIS MOTHER IN HIS HOME TOWN. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE THAT HE IS GONE. I WAS JUST TELLING MY HUSBAND THAT I REMEMBER LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY THAT HE WOULD MAKE ME COCO PEBBLES AND TOAST BEFORE I WENT TO SCHOOL AND SOMETIMES HE WOULD GET ME WENDY'S BISCUIT AND GRAVY WITH BACON ON THE SIDE. OOH I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, I WISH SO BADLY THAT HE COULD BE HERE TO SEE MY CHILDREN AND TO HUG AND KISS HIM. I AM VERY GLAD THOUGH THAT HE DID GET TO SPEND TIME WITH MY OLDEST DAUGHTER KYLEE. THE DAY I GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER HAVING HER, HIM AND HIS WIFE CAME OVER AND MADE ME HOME MADE DINNERS TO EAT ON FOR A WEEK. HE HELD KYLEE EVER SO GENTLY AND KISSED ALL OVER HER, I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT SMILE HE HAD, HE WAS SO VERY PROUD. HIS LOVE WAS LIKE NONE OTHER, I ONLY HOPE THAT MY TWO GIRLS FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THERE FATHER AND THAT THEY HAVE THE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM AS I DID WITH MY DAD. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO KYLEE WAS RIDING HER 3 WHEELER IN THE HOUSE AND I NOTICED THE PICTURE OF MY DAD WAS NOT IN THE FRAME. SO I QUESTIONED HER ABOUT IT, THANK GOODNESS I HELD MY TONGUE BECAUSE SHE LOOKED AT ME WITH THE MOST ADORABLE FACE AND SAID "UMPA IS IN THE TRUNK OF MY WHEELER" I SAID WHY AND SHE LOOKED UP AND SAID "HE WANTED TO GO RIDING WITH ME. PRECIOUS MOMENTS LIKE THAT MAKE ME REALIZE HOW AMAZING GOD IS AND HOW MUCH HE TOUCHES ARE LIVES (EVEN IN SMALL WAYS) ALL THE TIME. KYLEE WAS ONLY 9 MONTHS OLD WHEN MY DAD PASSED AWAY, I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE STILL REMEMBERS HIM THE WAY THAT SHE DOES BUT I AM SO THANKFUL FOR IT. AS MY DAD ALWAYS USED TO SAY "GOD IS GOOD EVERDAY".
