I Miss My Dad

Hey MAMA,

Well I am back in Texas and back into my regular routine. The only thing is, nothing will ever be the same again. Saying goodbye to you was the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Although, I was use to seeing you only a couple times a year due to our distances apart, the things that keep popping into my mind and bringing me to tears are your memories and realizing that I can't just pick up the phone or e-mail you anymore. You died so young at 51, but lived so richly and that was evident at your funeral. Your family, friends and co-workers from all over Georgia were there to say goodbye (at least for now). Your favorite songs were sang and Brother Royce and I spoke during the service. Amazing Grace was sang my your grave site and yes we layed you to rest exactly were you wished ( beside your moma - our MaMa). Your casket was just like hers and Britnni picked out the most beautiful flowers. Ohhh, don't worry your hair and make-up looked great! :) I miss you so much and thank the Lord he got me there in time to spend a few days with you before you went home to be with Jesus. The thing that amazes me so much is how many of your co-workers from the state showed up, and sent flowers, cards & e-mails. They all said the same thing, we already knew. You were so funny and always had a story to tell about the experiences you had. Did you realize that you made it exactly long enough see two things you prayed that God would let you see after getting cancer back in 1993. Britnni's graduation from H.S. and the births of your two grandsons. Well, Britnni is starting college and moving there this week, She reminds me so much of you. Verne is ok I guess, he is still struggling with his battle some I think. He really misses you and can't stop talking to people about you. Todd, Georgiana and the boys are staying busy. Todd says he keeps looking for you everywhere. Stormie and I are ok, she is having career challenges and hopes to return to school to get her Teacher's certification in January. Me, I am just me, as you would always say. Thank you for teaching me so muchabout living: bargain shopping, cooking, cleaning, loving, accepting and just the importance of being nice to others. I love you so much and learn each day how your death, is bringing new life to each of us in all kinds of ways. You are with MAMA , PAPA, NONI and JESUS now and I will see you soon because of the promise he gave in John 3:16. It's just waiting for that time that's hard MaMa. Give everyone a kiss from us and I will talk to you later.. "Remembering Yesterday, Planning for the Future, Living for Today." Your Son, Torre -Em Gem
