I could have blogged....

  • all day yesterday about papa hubby
  • my heart was so filled with memories
  • but it was not a sad day
  • just day of remembering the
  • way he was
  • some day I will share some of his testimony
  • as cancer was the not only battle he fought
  • in his life.........
  • he became a hero of the faith
  • in 1987 and he knew the joy
  • of becoming a new man in Christ
  • I found a picture or two of him
  • hiding in the computer--LOL
  • I will share them with you as time goes by,,
  • although his death is my loss
  • it is his gain.....
  • he had this saying before he died
  • while he was still able to have the
  • energy to speak more than a word or two
  • WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH-
  • THE TOUGH GET ICECREAM
  • and he did- he loved his ice-cream
  • (he needed something to help swallow his pills)
  • and woe to a nurse who tried to use
  • yogurt instead--
  • he was a quiet man but he let anyone
  • know that he was not eating yogurt
  • ever---never
  • so he had a standing order of ice-cream
  • -he did not ask for much very often
  • so if he asked his doctor for anything
  • the doctor would insist that it was an''order'.
  • hugs from Meme and off you go-
  • for ice-cream
