Homeward Bound...: Never too far away

"Families are like fudge, mostly sweet with a few nuts" -Author unknown

"you don't choose your family, they are God's gift to you as you are to them." -Desmond Tutu

Our lives have been so full

We have had a wonderful Father. There is not a day that passes that I don't wake up and realize all over again that he is really gone. It still seems impossible. I so highly revere my Dad and only think of him with the sweetness that comes from knowing there are no regrets. We loved each other and we knew it. We said it all. It was my Dad who went out of his way to lay down every stone in the path for me to heal heartache and learn to love the Gospel. It was our Dad who went out of his way to lay down the stones for each one of us to turn our hearts more fully towards each other. We loved our Dad. We still love him. He's still here, he fills our lives with sunshine and miracles. He is still laying the foundations that our family continues to build upon. He is the river we follow. "I was born on thy bank, river, my blood flows in thy stream, and thou meanderest forever at the bottom of my dream." -Henry David Thoreau
