Father's Day

This is one of those days that is really hard when you have recently lost your Dad. It's been just over three months since my Dad passed away and, yes, it was hard. I have found myself fighting back tears repeatedly today... as I helped my Mom dress for church... As we sang Amazing Grace, which was one of my Dad's favorites... when I took my Mom to see the little memorial Dad for my that has been put up in the Fellowship Hall at their church... when I had to sing my solo.... The wise and wonderful Dorothy gave me a song to sing this week. I wasn't sure I would be able to get through it since it was titled "My Father Watches Over Me." But before I got up to sing, I said my favorite little prayer... "Please, God, don't let me mess this up" and I managed not get all the way through it without bursting into tears - which was my fear. Yeah me. Somehow, Dorothy knew that I would have to pull myself out of the grief I am feeling today and put my best face and voice forward... and I did. So today, while I am missing my Dad so very much, I am also thankful for Dorothy and her wisdom.
