22 years ago today, we walked with you into church for your last service ever. If I could erase the events of that day and the days before, I would... it seems like yesterday. The pain of separation is not something one can explain. No words can describe what it is like. I miss you so much daddy, I am completely lost without you...

However, today I chose to celebrate you, I chose to celebrate your life and your legacy. Truly you were and continue to be in your own league. Your humility, your love, your encouragement was like no other. I am because you were and I am forever grateful to God for honoring us with you as our father. What you taught us continues to sustain us. I feel your presence in so many ways and I know you continue to wish us well. Thank you for believing in me, thank you for encouraging me, for being my greatest cheer leader though it was short-lived. Thank you for coming through for me at all times, thank you for listening and for your advice. Thank you for shining down upon us and blessing us always.

I will not mourn like I have no hope. I know and believe that we shall meet again in eternity dad, that together we shall praise God for His faithfulness. Rest in perfect peace dad, rest in peace humble soul.

Twenty years have passed since that sad day,
When one we loved was called away.
God took him home. It was His will,
But in our hearts he liveth still.

Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in my head, in my heart, in my soul. And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again.
Well I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Don't think so

Father God, I bless Your name for the precious gift of dad. I thank you for allowing him to show your love and compassion to us. Thank you Father for his life, for sustaining him in his journey, for protecting him always, for the favor You put upon his life. Thank you Jesus for the strength and anchor he was and continues to be, for the pillar and mentor that he was. Forgive him Father for his shortcomings and be forever merciful to him. I will not mourn like I have no hope. I know and believe that we shall meet again in eternity daddy, that together we shall praise God for His faithfulness. Rest in perfect peace dad, rest in peace humble soul.

And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Dear Family of Milton,

I'm sorry that you are experiencing the mourning of losing a love one. Many if not all of us has experienced this, but I would like to share a brief scripture that will may just bring you comfort.

(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”


Thanks for reading.
