When I think about my father I think of things like, my rock, my best supporter, my teacher, and guidance through this life. Most ladies have lunch dates with their mothers and share their secrets like a best friend with their mother. For me that was not the case. All the special events in my life have been with my father. I am greatful for all the love he has given to me! It's not everyday that fathers and daughters have the relationship that I do with my father. He has made me the person I am today. He has encouraged me to do my best and to be independent.
Last thanksgiving while my dad was working he had an accident. He fell off a ladder and shattered both of his elbows.
The strong man I saw became completely helpless in a matter of seconds. He was in the hospital for a week and spent 9 hours in surgery to fix his elbows. This was a hard time for him, but I am glad I was there for him just like he has been for me. It has been a long road since that happened. We thought he would just have to restrengthen his arms, but at his last check up with the surgeon they said they need to do surgery again on his left elbow. We couldn't believe it. So today he is in surgery to take pins out, remove scar tissue, and make sure everything else is fine. I am hoping a praying that everything goes well and that there are no suprises when they get into surgery.
Last nights sermon at church really related to today. It was about when we don't know what to do or how to feel to turn it over to God and he will help us through. His power is great in our weakness. I'm glad we went my dad could hear those words of reassurance that God is always with us. So I pray God is with my father today to keep him safe. I love you Dad! With God and each other we can conquer anything! :)
Love, your little girl
