04/29/21 I MISS YOU POP

My POP. I just saw a home movie from MCHS from the late thirties that included a clip with my daddy in the Industrial Arts (wood working) Class. Wow, what a shock to suddenly see my dad, my buddy. He gave me a good home, he gave me the opportunity to love and follow Jesus (even before he ever came to know Christ, as I was told toward the end of his life).

He gave me his name. I never wanted to hurt daddy, I never wanted to betray his love or besmirch his name or embarrass him in anyway. Daddy was always my encourager, cheer leader. I love him still, though he has been gone from us for 24 years. Yes, I still cry because I miss him.

Be careful, be vigilant not to separate yourself from your family, from the people who love you the most. If someone cuts you out of their life, or if someone is toxic and dangerous to you or your family, the separation you suffer will not be your fault. But make sure that you are not the one who poisons the well or inflicts unnecessary hurt on those who love you.

LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU POP
