Daddy's Birthday 7/25/15

Daddy's proudest posessions

Today is my Daddy's Birthday. He was born 7/25/15. He would have been 93 today. He died 8/21/88.He had only 1 of his direct descendents that died before he did. That was my little sister Debby. She had Downs Syndrome and died at age 27. These are pictures of him, his kids, most of his grandkids and some of the great grandkids...but not all of them. If he could have been there with us Sept. 06 he would have had better time than any of us! Daddy has been gone a long time but I miss him every day and it is still hard to speak of him without crying. He was such a good Daddy to me.

If he were here this morning I would fry him some thick bacon, fry some eggs. I'd make mamas biscuits and thick oatmeal. For lunch I would fry you a piece of pork shoulder rolled in flour and cornmeal. I have some fresh corn on the cob we could cut off. I also have 1 big ripe organic tomato and we could have biscuits and gravy with it....I have frozen rhubarb and strawberries we could make a nice cobbler...we will have to get on the internet and track down a farmer here with fresh raw cream. We could find one within 10 miles. We would need fresh raw cream for the cobbler. For supper we could just have cornbread and some of THAT RAW MILK WE DIPPED THE RAW CREAM OFF OF. I also have 2 purple flat onions that are very sweet and would be good with the cornbread.
We wouldn't be doing any chemo today. I have too many questions about things I need to do to help all of my kids and grandbabies....and about myself, is it worth all I am doing or is this not going to be a life worth living at the rate I am going...This earthly world seems to be going to hell in a hand basket....How bad is it going to get? How about these 2 men running for president. We know one of them and we know what he will do. I do not like what he is going to do. He is very radical and way too far eager on this war for any of us...We all do believe War is Hell. But how about this other man we know very little about? We don't really know what we will have if we but him in there....Is it better to have the unknown over the known if you don't agree with any part of the known? God took you before I had enough wisdom to be really able to help all of these kids I am responsible for. I have really been reading and studying the Bible because I know all answers are in there. I wish I had listened to you more and I wish I had learned more.Wondering about things like this is when I miss you the most.

I know he would enjoy that meal. I would too.

Did you know your daddy died on the exact day I was born? Year and everything, and I think you're doing a great job, and you shouldn't give up. We would all miss you. And although Bill doesn't show it all the time, he would miss you the most. I know this is a fact.

Bless your heart Helen, I wish there were something I could say or do that would help you. I remember you each night in my prayers, to be healed completely.

The foods you are talking about sounds like some mighty good eating to me.

Perhaps your Daddy will help you the next time while reading your Bible. Don't worry too much, don't try too hard and everything will fall into place. Take one day at a time. God bless you.

Helen, I only know your daddy from what you and your sisters have written about him. Based on that, I'm thinking the part of you that comes from him may be the part that's made you so strong in spite of all of the challenges you've faced this past year. I know how much you must miss him, but you're made of the right stuff. You'll find the answers you need.
