I REMEMBER THE LAST THING ME AND MY DAD DID TOGETHER BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY., AND THAT WAS THE VERY SAME YEAR HE PASSED AWAY; I WAS IN SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL THEN....VERY OFTEN, I MEAN MORE THAN OFTEN, HE WOULD GO INTO HIS ROOM IN THE EVENINGS AND TAKE OUT HIS BIBLE AND THEN I WOULD JOIN HIM....WE WOULD READ A FEW PARABLES FROM THE BIBLE AND THEN WE'D PRAY.....AND IN HIS PRAYERS, HE ALWAYS MENTIONED EVERY LONG GONE SIBLINGS OF MINE AND THEN HE WOULD END BY THANKING GOD FOR THE CHILDREN THE LORD HAS BLESSED HIM WITH AND LASTLY HE WOULD ASK GOD TO CONTINUE BESTOWING HIS BLESSINGS UPON HIS FAMILY......BY THIS, I KNEW MY FATHER WAS THE BEST OF ALL DADS AND THAT HE NEVER TOOK HIS THOUGHTS AWAY FROM HIS FAMILY AND GOD FOR EVEN A SHORT TIME.....
