My Dad Left Us Today

A journal entry from June 15, 2009:
My dad left us today. He always said he was counting on there being a purgatory so he'd have a chance at heaven. But he needn't have worried, not even for a second. My dad was one of the kindest, most giving people to walk this earth. He asked nothing of anyone except for them to be themselves. And he had a WONDERFUL sense of humor. He loved to laugh and he used to thank Trish and me for coming by and making him laugh. All of his children received his sense of humor and love of laughter. My dad was greatly respected by all of his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, all of whom are shedding tears this night. I miss you, Dad, and "I love you a whole great big bunch."

As you journey through these days, one year later, I am praying that you will hear the echo of your father's love in every laugh, every word of peace, every tearful sniffle, every breath (in and out). You are a living testament to his goodness and your own too. Love, Christine
