What a Blessing you are
I
was just thinking about you --
and the many good things you've brought to my life ...
Waking me
up with a dilly bar (from Bud Akens party the next day)
when you got home after your evening shift
Building
the camper and the 10-week vacation we took out west
Taking me
with you in the semi with a load of stoves
Cutting
wood over Christmas vacation (although I didn't like
it at the time)
Giving me
a key to the house when I moved away so I could 'always
come home'
All those
hours you and Mom put into the youth group
Driving
to Winnipeg to see me and Derek
Loving me
no matter how much I screwed up
Raising
us in a church
And on a
horse farm
Expecting
us to learn to work
Clothing,
feeding and educating 3 kids and feeding their spirits
Teaching
me to do math and play cards
Worrying
about us even when we didn't know you were worrying
Telling
me about that "magical" land where the government
paid for medicine and health care (I now know you meant
Australia, but Canada is a good choice too) :-)
And so many
more, to numerous to list.
It was time well spent, Dad!
