My Story - Part 7

MY dad, what a gift!  (His birth day is in 3 days :) 30th of December)

He was TENDER HEARTED.

KIND.

TRULY FELT DEEPLY for others.

My dad had so much compassion he would easily feel the pain of many others as well.


When you are someone who could feel like this, you need tools to know how to process it also. If not, it's overwhelming and at times tormenting as you can't fix, change or help the other person.  

My dad also was called to be a PREACHER. I was told stories at his funeral that he would be in his room practicing when he was young. 

He also was a MUSICIAN. He even received a record label offer mailed to him about a song he wrote about my mom. It was a heartbreak song of course, but he had skill. 

He was a FISHERMAN. He loved to fish. I actually am now remembering a memory where my dad, me and my brother, Christopher, went fishing in David's Pond in Batesburg SC. I think I actually caught the biggest one this time.

He also was an ENTREPRENUER. I was so blessed to find his business cards in the chest that was left with his stuff. I keep it in my office always to keep remembrance of who he was and what I can do to honor him with my life. Keeping his legacy going. 

I believe my dad felt and seen the hearts of all his loved ones, and that he didn't' know what to do with it. Because of his gift of being tender in his heart, the fact of not having us with him and my mom, was too much to bear without something taking the emotions away.... well hiding them.

THIS IS MY DAD. WHAT A TREASURE HE WAS AS I GOT TO KNOW HIM THROUGH OTHERS... AND WHAT AN HONOR TO HAVE HAD HIM AS MY DAD.... HIS TENDERNESS IS A GIFT TO THIS WORLD, HIS MUSIC WILL BE KNOWN THROUGH THE THEATERS I START WORLD WIDE... AND HIS ENTREPRENUERSHIP WILL BE SEEN THROUGH ALL THAT I DO AS WELL IN MY FUTURE. 

Thank you daddy for being you... I am sorry for your pain... I am grateful to see you again in heaven....

Happy Birthday.
​
I love you.
