Happy Birthday Dad!

Yesterday was my dad’s birthday. He would have been 72 years old. This was his 12th birthday in heaven. I remember his first birthday after he passed and it was weird to think he would have been 60. And it’s even harder to think of him as being 72 years old. This pictures is from when I was little or maybe around the time I was born. I like pictures like this because it was before he was sick. It was before he cheated on my mom and they divorced. It was before a lot of things happened in our lives.

My dad had an infectious smile and personality. I miss him a lot. I wish I could just talk to him, hear his voice and hear him laugh. One of the hardest things is that our oldest is the only one that was alive when my dad was alive. And he was 4 when he passed so he doesn’t remember a lot. It hurts my heart that they don’t know him and that he doesn’t get to see them grow. He would love them so much.

I know he is heaven and I know we will see him again because of our hope of salvation in Jesus Christ. I don’t know how things are in heaven. I don’t have any biblical evidence on this but I hope that there are times when the Lord pulls people to the edge of heaven and shows them their family doing something awesome. I don’t know. Just a hope that it could happen. Just wanted to drop a few thoughts on here because my dad has been on my brain a lot the last few days.
