Nine Years and Five Months Ago



Dad, Mr. Gennis Ervin Brickhouse, Sr., passed away.
The time has been nine years and five months ago and four days.
Jesus spared my brother's life and my life to remember our late dad.
It is a time of sadness and yet happiness for I know where he is today.
In Heaven is where he is and waiting for us to arrive.
Dad had dementia before passing away which saddens my heart.
Jesus was so gracious to my dad for the things he could have had but didn't.
I have to say and will say I love Dad today as I have; in the past.
He is the only dad I had that ever meant anything to me.
Dad was always one to stand by me and never let me down.
I, hopefully, will  go on remembering Dad and  his love for me.
I hope the Lord will always give me my mind and memories.
For the time they would change is the time I will be missing out on something special.
Dad, I love you and hope you know I am so proud of you.
May you have all the comfort you can receive from God and for you to       still wait for me to be there.
