A man who meant everything to me ended his life. He was the father I had always wanted to have. A mentor. A role model. The ideal husband. An amazing father. He shaped my life and made me into who I am today. He is the shining example of whom I hope to have in my life someday as my husband. He was faithful. His faith was strong and fierce. He was a man of conviction and powerful love. He helped those unfortunate in their greatest time of need.
My life changed dramatically when he died.
Today is a tough day. I celebrate that he's in Heaven, probably with Jayden in his lap, reading my precious baby a story and telling them all about Jesus. That comforts me.
He gave my mother this picture before he died. Kinda how I feel right now.
I love and miss you Jay. Never a day goes by where I don't think of you.

This is a lovely post and a gorgeous testimony to the power of love and friendship.
