Daddy
Daddy was my hero. He is one of the few men that I have known in my life that I have ever looked up to.
He was funny, passionate, opinionated, full of fun , and more than anything a man of God. He didn’t just preach the truth he lived it.
He could always come up with a good mother in law joke. Such as good grief is when you go to you mother in laws funeral.
When we were kids we had no idea that weren’t rich. We didn’t have a whole lot of material things but we had a lot of love.
Of course as everyone knows I’m my daddy’s baby and as the baby of the baby you can’t do any wrong much to the dismay of my siblings!
One of my favorite stories about my dad was the one when I was 2 or 3 and we were pastoring in Georgia when he was working on the church I wouldn’t leave him alone and he nailed me to the floor. Not literally but he nailed my dress to the floor and didn’t let me up until his work was finished.
My dad could fix anything. When we were teenagers Becky and I would want something new so we would break it thinking we would get a new one but we learned fast don’t break it cause daddy would fix it and we would still have to use it.
More than anything my dad taught me to love God to always put him first never to doubt but place everything in Gods hands. Many many times when we were traveling we would run into trouble or the truck break down we would all pray and it would just fix itself and everything would be ok. As kids we had no idea why but it was mainly because he didn’t have the money to fix the truck so God was going to have to take care of it.
I want to take the time to appreciate my mom. She has been our rock through the years and more so these last few years than ever before. Thank you momma for all you have done for daddy and us. We love you more than you will ever know. Daddy always has said he’s the head but Mommas the neck that turns the head.
To many of you he was Pastor, Minister, Friend, Mentor but to me he was just Daddy. I love you Daddy I will miss you but I am striving to meet you in heaven one day.
Love you Gwen
