It also brought back wonderful memories of my father who has been gone 10 years. Loosing Dad at the very early age of just 54 was extremely difficult. I believed he had many more wonderful things to teach me, however, the things he taught me with the stories he told... well they, like this story you shared from your dad, are the very things that shaped us into the adults we are. Adults who know our heavenly Father is the one we really need to learn from each and every day, and His stories are all around us. We just need to take the time to listen to them.Thanks for the memories... God Bless you! Thanks!

It's taken me some time to respond to this entry. I needed first to meditate on it, cry (happy tears, of course), and meditate some more. There is probably nothing more important that I learned living with your dad for nearly 53 years than the illustration of the little boy and the cherries. If God promised it, we believed it and He supplied, time after time, after time, and is still taking good care of me. I look forward to the day when you publish your FIRST book. So very proud to call you 'my son.' Your father was proud of you, too. And my thanks to Murf, also. Keep writing, so we can keep reading. Memories! It’s taken me some time to respond to this entry.
