April 5, 2017

At 8:16 a.m. 

on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, 

my daddy slipped peacefully away 

to his Jesus 

and to all of his treasures stored up in Heaven 

and to hear our God say, 

"Well done, thy good and faithful servant,." 

And now, here it is almost exactly 24 hours later,

and I sit here,
in the house where my daddy was born in the front bedroom,
working on his obituary.

And I already miss him beyond measure.
