Memento Mori Revisited

Today is the day we celebrate Father’s Day in 2019.

Today is another good day to remember that our time here on Earth is limited.

Every day is a good day to remember our time here is limited.

I became a father in 1991 at the age of 20.

I have been a father for nearly 28 years.

Three titles I hold dear to my heart are Son, Husband, and Dad.

I have been a son all my life, a husband for nearly 30 years, and a dad for almost 28 years. Depending on how you look at it, that’s either a long time or less than a flash in the big picture of things.

There is nothing like being a dad. It has brought me a lot of worries, sadness, frustration, and trouble.

But, it has also brought me tremendous amounts of joy, happiness, love, and goodness than I could have ever imagined.

I love being a husband and a dad (and now a Papa). Many men have regrets about these titles, but I can honestly say (and I may be a little biased) I have the best wife, kids, and grandbabies ever.

Today we took some new flowers over to the National Cemetery in Canton, Georgia to place at Dad’s niche. It’s hard to believe he has been gone for over 2 years now. I miss him greatly. He was the best dad. A great example of how to care for others with a servant’s heart, how to love your wife and kids, how to do things you may not enjoy in order to provide for those you love.

I hope I can be a fraction of the man he was.

Your legacy lives on.

Thank you.

I love you.

I miss you.
