Happy Father's Day

It was such a blessing to see my dad on Father's Day.  He was in town for my cousin's wedding and it worked out that it was also Father's Day weekend.

This is the card that I made for him from my sister and I.  I got the ideal from pinterest but made it my own once I couldn't find certain candies.  He was super tickled and so were the other family members.  It was alot of fun making the card and I'm glad he really enjoyed it.  I also made one for the maintenance men at work and they loved it too.

I know people who enjoy receiving gifts but I will have to admit.  I enjoy giving gifts.  I have a hard to receiving myself but take delight in making things for other people to give.  It's even more rewarding when they are pleased with what you worked so hard on.

My dad is one of those guys who never meets a stranger.  He is super friendly and has a big heart, no pun intended.  I say that as he has congestive heart failure due to an enlarged heart.  My dad is also struggling with other sickness and daily declining.  However, he is still concerned with everyone else. 

I worry about him all the time and wish sometimes that I lived closer so he could get the correct health attention he needs.  It's hard watching him go to the University hospital and get intern doctors after intern doctors and they all have a different diagnosis for him.  This is one of the struggles people go through without insurance.  Because his health is so bad, he doesn't qualify for insurance however that has to be something that can be done and that's what I wish I could be in Oklahoma to help out.  Unfortunately, when you are dealing with the system, you need to do alot of foot work and door pounding.

I love my dad and pray that the Lord continues to keep his arms around him.  I pray that the Lord will send angels in his path to encourage him on those rough days and continue to keep him uplifted.  Thank you Lord for his life.
