As a child, I really didn't have a relationship with my Father. As a matter of fact, I didn't care for him very much, because I thought he was so mean. It wasn't until I was grown that I found out "who" my Father "really" was. I made many judgements that was not accurate and many things I had to ask the Lord for forgiveness. I had to realize that He wasn't a "perfect man" but He was the Father that was given to me. I saw my Mother go through many things with him. I couldn't understand and sometimes wondered, WHY? Now, I can see her strength. Today, I'm grateful because she's still teaching me, how to be strong. Even though she's deceased, some days I can still hear her voice. Years later, I was sitting and talking with my Father about his life. He shared many things. I found out that he wasn't the "boogey-man" that Satan displayed in my head. So many stories he shared and they were good, as well as funny. I've shared some of them with you. Now, You share them with Your Family. I often say, "Leave a Legacy!" I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE CONVERSATION!
