Seeing The Fingerprints

The words don't come easily this time around.  The grief of the past year has swirled around and all the firsts were experienced without our Dad about.  What do you say....you need to move on.  Somedays are easier than others and somedays you don't want to go through, but you do, because we live in the land of the living.  We have a testimony to give, this world is only but a breaking ground for what is to come.  This earth is a temporary home, the brokenness of it, in it will pass away one day, but today we keep on living.  May our Heavenly Father continue to surround our family as we live without people we love.  May He give us the strength to be a living testimony and a light shining to those in darkness, even if we feel dark some days, may even that little spark of light give others hope! Precious are these memories when we went over for Dad day visits.  This was the mr. E's birthday....we celebrated with cupcakes.  He received money...
