It's been one week since my Dad went on to his heavenly reward. I haven't said much about him in the last posts, but I'm ready now. My Dad truly was an amazing guy. He didn't have an easy life as a kid but he didn't let that drag him down. He decided he was going to try and make the world a better place, and that's what he did till the day he died. If there was one thing I will always remember as a child was that my dad ALWAYS went out of his way to give to others, to help some one, to give advice, money, what ever he could. Many times he was never thanked or appreciated for what he gave and it would sadden him, but he never stopped giving. When other kids or teens were around or in need they because like his own, he gave just as much time and love to them as he would to us, his own kids. He expected a lot of us kids, he expected us to be like Jesus, because that's what he tried to do. He definitely burnt his candle at both ends giving 110% of his life to others and for Jesus. Of course I had my times when I couldn't stand him, when I just wanted to get away from him, but what kid doesn't. I always knew that no matter what happend if I needed help he would be there for me. Now he is finally getting his reward, and i know that it is a great one, for a Great Man, My Dad.
