So where does one start?
What do you share?
Do I share about the value you have brought into our lives, the life lessons? Be the father? The guidance in life skills and also spiritually? The good memories and pranks?
The embarrassing times you could embarrass me just like a dad with rock hard country music in the mornings at school?
The fishing and Friday night barbecues. The every day Jesus chats and church?
Or do I share the void left in our hearts when you were suddenly taken away from us? How people asked about why you are in jail, we saw as naive. The struggling to adapt at school and even had to do over a year. To be seen by everyone as a “difficult teenager”, but no one understands that a father in my life was suddenly taken away from me. The sadness in my mother’s eyes every day. The uncertainty about the future …
What do you share?
The little kids that their grandpa who is always playing with them and just as silly as they are, is suddenly gone?
The games in the garden, the sweeties sneakily sharing and building in the garage with the little kids …
Do I share that and have never felt unsafe with you?
Do I share that you always tell us to stay positive and trust God? His plan is bigger than ours!
Or do I share how powerless I feel about not being able to get you out of there?
My heart aches for you Abrie and we miss you!
There’s still too much we still have to experience together!
I hope the world sees your innocence!
I hope the world hears you !!
You are an amazing husband, father, grandfather, mentor and friend. A man who always fights for what is right and gives God all glory !!
May this be our last war!
