He may have been imperfect, but I think your Dad went straight to heaven!

Thank you. I was very blessed with the parents God gave me. If you haven’t seen it, I recently wrote about my Mom as well.

So much beauty and truth in these observations. What a tender character sketch for a beloved, imperfect father.

Thank you for your comment. Even though he had some demons to wrestle, Dad was the perfect father for me. I have another article on here about my mom, in case you missed it.

Your dad had a lot of similarities with my dad. My dad passed away 14 years ago and I miss him terribly. He will always be my hero, not because he did heroic things (he did) but because he was my dad.

Thank you for sending the article about your mother. You and your siblings are incredibly blessed to have such holy, loving and great parents. No doubt about it. Your Mom went straight to heaven too!
