    The father figure in my life was my grandpa–my real dad was in prison while I was growing up. My grandpa taught me so many great things in life. I miss him very much and always smile when I remember him

    My father died a few years ago of Cancer. He was on Hospice and died in our home. He was always a good man with funny stories and bad groaner jokes. He was the family geneologist and I wish I had listened a little closer to who was who. When we were going over his funeral plans. I asked him who he wanted for his pall bearers and he answered ” Whoever shows up.” And then he said his only grandson – John.

    Father’s Day is always hard, because I don’t have my dad or grand-fathers anymore. All have been called to be with our Lord. My dad was a very special man. He had Parkinson’s for most of his life. I was 5 years old when he first got sick. Even with his illness he worked hard and supported a family of 8. We never wanted for anything, we had a house filled with a dad’s love. He never complained about being sick. I LOVE HIM VERY MUCH and MISS HIM SO MUCH!!!
