My Dad was not only a wonderful dad, he was one of my very best friends. I loved spending time with him. I remember during my school years, walking a few blocks away from our house to meet him on his drive home from work. I would watch the clock to time it perfectly. He would pick me up and we would get to share a few minutes together before arriving home. He always encouraged me and made me feel like I was someone special.
It was so wonderful to sit by him in church and hold his hand during prayers and listen to him sing. I did this as a child and an adult. People would come looking for him at church because they loved his sense of humor and the way he cared about each friend.
He was my partner in crime, when it came to hunting down the chocolate chips that Mom would hide to bake cookies. We usually found them, even though mom had great hiding places.
There simply isn't enough space to write about all the things that I will miss about him. I look forward to seeing him again some day, along with Will. There is no doubt that his laugh is being heard in heaven. I will miss him very much!
