Last week I came to Iowa for a class reunion..never dreaming that this would be my last visit with my Daddy.
I was planning to go home two different days but the call came that Dad was not well...so Monday I spent the day with Mom and Dad...the nurses and Mom and I got a small smile from him....when I left I told him who I was and that I was telling him good-bye because I was going home the next day. I asked him to tell me bye and he quietly mouthed "bye"...
Tuesday morning the call came early that Dad was not well again and Jenae and I went down to be with him and Mom. We were there for about two hours when he quietly slipped away.
So thankful for a man that could leave family to come to a new country to begin a new life. And who also found a new way of life that was passed on to us.
LOVE you, DADDY
