Today, June 1, 2026, celebrates my Father’s 100th Birthday. He was Granddaddy to all who were (and remain) blessed to know him. Five years ago, he went home to Heaven, not an old man but a child — a child of God.
Though I’m known to be a lady of words, there are no syllables to express Heaven’s gain and my loss when Dad received his well-earned Eternal Reward.
Without his smile starting and finishing each day, there remains a loneliness in my heart, but my soul is not alone. My dad’s wisdom, love and influence forever guide and embrace my being and life’s journey.
The world wrongly labeled my Dad an old man. I smile cause it now, also, wrongly categorizes me an old lady. I’m not. You see, forever, I proudly was, is and will be my Daddy’s little girl.
