Happy Birthday, Dad

Today would have been my Dad's 53rd Birthday. I have truly missed him every minute since he left. At times I feel envious that he is in the place we all long to be, Heaven - a place where all of the trials & struggles of this life are no more and life & love never end. Today... I am missing him, as I have all of the days before, but I am also choosing to be thankful for all of the time & memories I did have with him, while wishing I still had just one more. Happy Birthday Dad, I love you & I can't wait to see you again.

"No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye. You were gone before we knew it & only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness & secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know. But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, to remember all the happy times, life still has much in store. Since you'll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today, a hallowed place within our hearts is where you'll always stay."

Love,

Jenna
