Today is daddy's birthday . . .
Of course, I can't get through this day
without remembering, thinking of him.
He ever will be the greatest love of my
life!
I've shared before that my parents did
a divide and conquer once my special
brother was born. We were a unit of
four, make no mistake. But, daddy
took over rearing me as mom dealt
mainly with my brother.
I remember toddling around behind
him, always with dozens of questions.
I look back and recall the patience
with which he treated me! He would
answer those never ending questions
and then . . . at some point he'd say,
"Time to take a quiet break. Let's
see, it's about 3:00. We won't talk
again until 3:30." It was hard, talker
that I am, but he never made it longer
than 30 minutes.
He is the man who gifted me my
love of Mother Earth. He is the one,
upon turning 13, who told me he
believed me to be a Pantheist and
himself a Panentheist. Having said
that, he remained a staunch Christian
his entire life! He was the real McCoy!
Oh how I love and revere this man.
I still talk to him everyday . . . and
today, I will be wishing him a happy
birthday, wherever he may be!
