On Father’s Day

My photo of dad and I

Today is Father’s Day and I was just reading a wonderful story from Rosina Surovi Khan

that caused me to remember my own wonderful father.

• His name was Harold but friends called him Hank.

Looking back at my years with him makes me very thankful.

• He was a quiet, and strong presence in my life.
• He had a wonderful sense of humor that outshone many others.
• He was a musician and he taught me so much about grace and peace through his musical abilities.
• He was not brought up in a wealthy home…quite the opposite.
• His stories of his childhood weren’t many but he did tell us that he and his family had been rescued from poverty with the help of the Salvation Army.

• The Salvation Army gave my dad and each of his brothers a brass instrument and taught them how to play them.
• They also provided food for his family (because his father had deserted them.)
• I also believe that the same musical training that my dad had received from the Salvation Army was passed down to my son.

Today I want to thank God for the gift of my father.

I had his love for 34 years.

Such a short time

But I have many amazing memories for sure.

Thank you God, for my dad.

Amen

Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful Father’s Day
