Thread: My Dad.

So sorry to hear about your loss. Just a exert of inspiration from what I said at my Dad's passing.... Hope it helps you like it did me.

We pause at the ending of the day to thank thee, O God, for life itself; for the wonders of existence, for our family and friends; our food and shelter and all the necessities of life; we thank Thee, also, for all the unexpected things that make life happy and bright, and for the common things, like water and light; we are grateful too for all the difficulties of life, the sorrows and hardships, for by them and through them we enter more and more deeply into the meaning of existence.
Teach me, O Lord, not to hold on to life to tightly. Teach me to hold it lightly; not carelessly, but lightly, easily. Teach me to take it as a gift, to enjoy and cherish while I have it, and to let go gracefully and thankfully when the time comes. The gift of life is great, but the Giver is greater still. Thou, O Lord are the Giver and in Thee is a life that never dies.

Chris I'm so sorry to hear this. Reading your post sent back vivid memories of the morning I lost my father four years ago. Like your brother I was holding my fathers hand feeling helpless because there was nothing I could do. When we loose parents it hurts to our core. Your a good man and a great father to the Be's. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I'll be praying for you and your family.

Chris, I am real sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad. My Dad died a long time ago and I still remember him each day and the good times we enjoyed togeather. I will add you and your family to my prayer list.

This the text i just got.

Visitation Thursday at 5-7pm, funeral friday at 10am, both at Emmanuel baptist church. Christmas eve service.....gonna be tough.

Another one.

U can post that if u want, but don't let anybody start talking about sending flowers or anything like that. I read the replies to my thread and I know everyone is praying and thinking of me and the family and that's all he'd want anyway. Tell everyone I appreciate the support and well wishes.

They way I took that last text was, it's my job to not let y'all start talkin bout it. So don't say a werd, just do it ifn you can.

(Y'all know I don't werk real hard at nuthin. Well maybe a buffay.)
