Daddy, one year ago today you were released from your earthly suffering in a body that just would not allow you to live to the fullness of this life. I have a firm faith that tells me you are with our Lord Jesus and you are more alive right now than you ever were here. Until we meet over there, I will keep you close in my heart. I love you, Daddy!
