A Piece of My Life

I thought I would share a moment from my life today. A little history first. All my life my daddy has been my hero. He's always been there for me, he's always done everything he could to make my life better. I've always been daddy's little girl. I remember riding in the truck with him, standing in the seat next to him (back when you could do that). I also remember him being a very hard person, someone, I think, couldn't show love. Maybe because he didn't know how, maybe he was afraid to, I don't know. He's always been someone that not everyone understands. I pride myself in thinking that I know him and how he thinks, just a little bit better than most. He had heart surgery last year, and since then he's not been 100%. Most days other people can't even completely understand what he's trying to say, he can't always get the right words out. But today, and in the last few days, I've seen a very different side of my daddy.He is in the midst of losing his mother. Something, I know first hand is not an easy task. He is, four years later, just now grieving for my mother and he's still not over the death of his father or his very close brother. It's all took it's toll on him. But today, I saw a man who was so full of love, a man who was hurting, a man who needed the comfort of his mother. And this is the photo that I captured of that moment. It is now, I think one of my very favorite photos. Thank you all for your prayers this week, my family needs them as we are still trying to comprehend what the future without one of two most beautiful women I have ever known. A woman so full of faith in God and His Will that thru all of her trials in life she has never once waivered. A woman I want to mold myself to be, but know that there will never be another like. I pray that she doesn't struggle much longer and that she's able to tell my mother hello for me very soon and that we'll all be with them someday soon.Here is this very small piece of my life today:
