As many of you know, my Daddy went to be with our Savior last month after a 5 month battle with brain cancer. It was a long 5 months for him with many obstacles to overcome, but for those of us left behind, it seems such a short time! I will forever cherish the time I got to spend with him during those months ~ thanks to my gracious Mom and wonderful husband who held down the fort while I was away numerous times!! He will be forever missed by many people, that is for sure!! For us, we have to come to terms with our new "normal" which no longer includes Papa except in memories & thoughts, of which we have many! I've included a few of my favorite pictures to share.
A pastor my whole life, he always looked so nice in a suit!
One of my favorite pictures of the two of us and our blue eyes!
He and my step mom Sharon taken this summer right before his diagnosis. Love the smile!
A recent creation to have on display for us to all see daily :)
This was Daddy's normal pose- even his last days laying in bed, we'd find him with his hand on his chin like this.
We had the privilege of having both Autumn & Shannen baptized by my Dad in the past years.

Oh Amanda.............
This is such a great post about your daddy, I know you must really miss him.
I didn't realize you found out the day after Anna's funeral, OMG...
I didn't realize your step dad died while you guys were there on vacation... OMG....
There is so much I didn't realize, I have been so locked up in my own stuff- a habit I am trying to break! You guys have still remained on our hearts and I miss you!
