Someone special to me.

Today we would have celebrated my Dad's 44th birthday with some games, a yummy chocolate cake he loved and just spending time with us kids. I will never forget the past birthdays we celebrated; they were spent playing putt-putt golf, driving go-carts, playing nertz, playing The Farming Game and going to John's Incredible Pizza (Modesto,CA).

I know my Dad is in a place where there is no more pain and suffering. Knowing that doesn't take away the pain I have inside me. I am blessed to have had 19 yrs with my Dad, to have made memories and stories to tell my kids and to see how God has been working in my life. I am blessed to have a wonderful Husband, a loving circle of friends and family and a heavenly Father who has and will always be there for me.

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame! In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me, and save me! Be to me a rock of refuge, to which I may continually come; you have given the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Psalms 71 1-3
