The last two nights have been very restful. I am having trouble with Christmas songs and generally break into crying when I hear them and feel guilty about that because Christmas is about Jesus and I am a Christian. I ask for your prayers on this. I want to go out this weekend and purchase a Christmas present for my niece. I think that will be therapeutic. I got more done today as far as home chores and so I feel a little more accomplished.
The funeral was packed. People had flown in from all over that had known daddy from his trucking stops. Daddy did not know a stranger and loved to just visit. People were given the chance to talk about memories of Daddy and one his high school buddies remembered that when I was born and of course, there were complications, daddy had not left the hospital for two days and his buddies went to check on him and encourage him to get a cup of coffee or something and when they found him, he had fallen asleep with his hands grasping the Bible. Gary had never shared this with anyone until that day. Mom didn't even know. I wanted to share that.

Thanks for sharing such a neat story about your dad. i'm thankful you were able to be encouraged and learn even more about your dad. We're thinking about you and praying for you, especially during Christmas time. Love, Rachel
