CHRISTMAS WITHOUT DADDY

Those of you who know me, know that I lost my daddy to cancer 4 years ago. I miss him so much. He was the kind of man that I hope the boys we are with, will strive to be. He was gentle yet knew when to be Stern. I can truly say that my daddy walked Christ like. I never heard him say a curse word or talk bad about anyone. His walk was the walk of a Christian man. My daddy is spending Christmas with his daddy this year. They are rejoicing with Jesus. I know that one day I will see my daddy again, and Oh how I can't wait for that day!

                                               CHRISTMAS WITHOUT YOU

                          Another Christmas eve that we're spending without you,
                         We miss you Oh so much and I'm feeling kinda blue.
                         I know that your happy when you hug your mom and dad,
                         and if I could have just one minute, I'd give you a hug back.
                         I just can't imagine everything you must see,
                         or just how awesome Heaven must really be.
                         And I wonder day to day just what you and Jesus do,
                         and wish I could have just one glimpse, so I could see you.
                         Your spending Christmas with your daddy and I'm missing mine.
                         But they say that I will heal, all I need is time.
                         I don't really believe that, unless time is forever,
                         because I think I will miss you daddy, until we are together.
                         Oh I miss you daddy and I love you so.
                         and I get so lonely because you had to go.
                         When the day comes that God calls for us to meet him in the sky,
                         What a day of rejoicing that will be, because there will be no sad goodbyes.
                         I know that your happy celebrating Christmas with your friends,
                         and I know I'll see you soon when God greets us in.
                         I just give thanks to Jesus that he let me have you so long,
                         and I know we will be together soon, when God calls us home.
                         When you are celebrating with Jesus and see a tear fall from face,
                         Just know that I am happy that one day, you will take that tear's place.
                         And while you talk with Noah and listen to the stories told,
                         if Jesus happen's to pass by, tell him I said; Hello.
