Hi, I am posting this in loving memory of my father, Johnny, who passed away 59 years ago this month. He died of a heart attack young, so I lost him when I was a child. :sigh: The last thing I heard him do was pray with my mother just before he died. :thumbsup: And I do look forward to the day my mother, father, and older sister (all three are gone) and my brother (still living) and I are all together again in the Kingdom to Come.:angel:

My dad was a writer, a former soldier, a professional chaueffeur in a time when the automobile came into general use (1930's), a newpaper man, an ambulance driver during the war, a community leader, an active churchgoer and volunteer who had strong faith, and could always make me laugh. :D Gone a long time, but never has been nor will be forgotten. :holy:

Birdfriend,

Your post touches my heart- the picture of a daughters undying love for her
father. . .

I see that in my own daughter, who lost her father at 5. She's a young lady now,
and always keeps his memory in fresh in her heart. . .

Blessings. . .

Birdfriend - I'm brand new here and just happened upon your post. Thanks so much for sharing about your wonderful father. My father has been gone for 29 years this past July and I just lost my mother in February.
I'm encouraged by the enduring love expressed by your post. We almost never hear anyone speak of a loved one who is gone so long, but it is still a very real loss. No one replaces another person.
It is wonderful to think of being reunited with our loved ones some day.
Thanks again for sharing your memories

We never overcome the loss of our Parents. Never.

A beautiful tribute.
