Sara,
You shared, fought for, and celebrated his life. Three beautiful stages to something it's hard to find beauty in.
I pray for strength and peace for your family as you search for ways to remember, honor and celebrate the time you had with him.
I know you Sara- something beautiful will continue to live on because of this man, through you, your children, his entire family.
Today was about him, but please do not forget that it's okay for it to be about you too. (Those of you who love him, and miss him.)
You are never alone.
As the tears flowed for Odee, I realized that I have never met this man you called Daddy.
Through your love for him, and his for you, God came shining through to so many people who never knew him. You made him so real for us. He has brought countless people to a better understanding of what it means to walk with God.
Find Peace, my friend, and take what you need and give what you can. Rest, knowing that He is guiding you down the path.
My Daddy died today
So now, I know, that I need to support my Mom and love my family, that is what he would want, to not look back with regret and bitterness
I feel like every inch of my insides have been viciously clawed away, I'm sure we all do, it's all surreal
I'm so glad my Daddy is in heaven and always in my heart
I am so sorry, Daddy...I am so sorry...my voice wasn't strong enough...they say I went about it the wrong way, and now you're gone...
You did not go about this in the wrong way! Your voice was strong and loud! You loved him, you helped fight for him and I know he heard you singing praises of what a wonderful man he was all the way to heaven!
You were a good daughter. He loved you and you loved him. What more could any father ask for in this world?
You couldnt make him stay. For some reason, God wanted him to go right now. You may not know the reason right now. You may not know for a long time. But there was a reason why God took him from you.
Maybe Caylee Anthony needed a Grandpa to hold her hand. Maybe God felt you needed guidance from him right now that he just couldnt give you on earth. There are a million maybes but someday you will know why. Dont blame yourself for this. It would break your Daddys heart to hear you do that!
Stand up and be proud of the fact that you got the pleasure of being his daughter.
I am praying for you! You are in my constant thoughts!
XOXOXO
Dearest Sara,
Earthly times are filled with wonderful memories but heavenly times will far surpass anything that we have ever experienced!
The Lord blessed Odee and your mom with a beautiful and loving family. Odee will be with you forever as will our Lord.
"And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast." 1 Peter 5:10
Much love and sympathy,
Cherry
Oh my heart! Time stopped a minute while I obsorbed the words that your Daddy had gone. I didnt know him but through you and the family I wanted to know him I wanted to be part of his fight to keep him here with you all. You fought wonderfully a true warrior woman for your dad do not let any one tell you otherwise. My heart and tears darling and I feel blessed to have know this fabulous man for just a flicker of a moment. His memory and the fight you fought so valiantly will live on in many of our hearts and memories. You Will see him again and God holds the key to this promise he made and he cannot tell a lie. BonVoyage dear Odee...until the resurrection peace be yours and may love surround and keep your family safe her on earth till you meet again, what a celebration that will surely be. Michelle
Dearest Sara,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. We lost my G'pa Nov 1, 2007.
I thought I'd share this with you as ever since my G'pa died my Mom says she thinks of the Lord's prayer so differently. My mom misses him so.
I'm glad your Dad is with my G'pa in heaven.
