Day 12 - To My Daddy

Today is my daddy's birthday. He passed away back in 2001. There are always certain days and times that I think about him. There is certain things that remind me of him. A certain smell, sound, or even something as simple as a certain food. My daddy might not have been the best man at times, but when I think about him being gone from this world, and the things in my life that he has missed, it saddens me. My graduating high school, my wedding, and even the things to come such as his grandchildren. But then I try to remember that he is in the best place a person could be, and that is with our Heavenly Father.
Its humorous when you think about it, when i was a little girl, I thought that my daddy knew EVERYTHING. He was my Super Man! I use to brag to people at school that my dad could eat and drive at the same time! lol But then when I grew older and he tried to show me the ways of the world, I was convinced that he knew NOTHING! I think that's the philosophy of alot of kids, and if i knew then what I know now, I would have embraced that part of my life and got everything I could of out of it.
The Lord knew that I needed a father, that I couldnt do without one. So he sent me one. Michael Moyer. No one could ever replace my daddy, he will always be my daddy, but I couldnt ask for a better father than the one I have now.
I dont know how many people will be thinking of Keith Hicks today, but if you are reading this, please know that he once was a great man and the best father he KNEW HOW to be...a today is his birthday......Happy Birthday Daddy, I love you
