Simple

Remembering my Daddy, who went to be with the Lord today 13 years ago. This version of his favorite verse came home with Abby Jane from Bible study a while back, and it stays on our fridge.
This day always is a reminder of so many things, but the take-home for you and for me is what the most important message was that my dad wanted to teach us those last days.

Simply put, it was that relationships are THE most important thing in life. First with the Lord, then with others.

Grateful for the great man I got to call Dad, who served a great God and loved us and others deeply.
