Three years ago

Three years ago on this day I received the most devastating news!  Ist was about this time (10:00 pm) my sister called to tell me my father had passed away.  


We had spent the weekend in TN for my daughter's cheerleading competition.  We got home late Sunday night and Monday I kept thinking I needed to call my dad, but for some reason I didn't do it.  I said I would do it the next day.  Well the next day didn't come for him.  

My sister had called around 8 or so to tell me that dad was taken to the hospital, but she didn't have any details.  We didn't think it was anything.  See I live in GA and they live in IN.  So there wasn't anything I could do, but wait.  I waited patiently because I didn't expect anything to be really wrong.  He had a massive heart attack and had died before the paramedics even arrived to his house.

He was one of my best friends.  He was always there for me and I could tell him anything!  He always knew had to make things better.  We had so many wonderful times together and I am so grateful that God gave me such a wonderful father.
