A LETTER TO MY DADDY

Dear Daddy,

It has been a while since I wrote to you last. A lot has happened since my last letter. I’m sure you could say the same.

Hershel is still working a lot but is enjoying fishing as much as possible. He still takes great care of me and Megan!!

Speaking of Megan, she is in her 2nd year of college and is already a junior. She still has a long time to go though since she still wants to be a vet. Oh Daddy, you would be so proud of her!! Her relationship with the Lord has gotten so strong. She is a real leader for Christ. She has been on several mission trips and has another planned for this summer!! She will also be working for a vet this summer and she is really excited. can you believe she will be 20 years old next month? I can’t!! I hope she doesn’t mind me telling you that she has a new boyfriend and although it is a new relationship, I think he is a keeper. I don’t really know how it will all work out so I’m leaving it all in God’s capable hands.

I have been doing ok. I have been a bit depressed lately, but I am finally coming out of it and starting to enjoy life more. I have decided to try new things and to put myself out there… basically get out of my comfort zone. Last week I went to a mini convention for my company and our CEO said that to grow, we have to get out of our comfort zones. And when ya think about it, that’s true.

I have also been trying my best to follow your example and keep my smile, no matter how bad I feel or how much life knocks me down. I don’t know if I have ever thanked you for being such a wonderful example for me to follow. So, thank you!! I guess I will let you get back to what you were doing. I love you to Heaven and back a million times!!!

Love Always,

Sara Beth

P.S. I wish so much that you could write me back and let me know what you’ve been up to. It has been so long. I don’t know if you realize but tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of your home going. I still remember our last conversation. We talked about Megan’s birthday invitations I was having printed up and you said that if they were camouflage that no one would be able to see them. You and your sense of humor are greatly missed! As well as your advice, your hugs, your silly faces, and especially when you talked like a duck. I miss everything about you and my heart is missing a huge chunk out of it.

They told me it would get easier, but it hasn’t. Yes, I have learned how to go on with my daily life without seeing you or talking to you but I still miss you so much! Probably even more than ever!!

God has been taking me on a journey lately and I really want more opportunities to work for Him. If you have time and think about it, please put a little bug in His ear for me. Thanks!!

So yes, my precious Daddy has been in Heaven for 10 years. I can’t imagine the amazing things he hears, sees, smells, and tastes. Nor can I imagine sitting at Jesus’ feet, or hearing “well done my good and faithful servant!” And the people he gets to visit with. Wow!! I can’t wait to be there one day when the Lord decides it’s my time.
