Tomorrow will be my first Father's Day without my Daddy. And it is hard to believe he has been in Heaven for six months already.
Tomorrow, the newly added handicapped restroom at Yokena Presbyterian Church will be dedicated in Daddy's memory. Now I know that some will see this as perhaps undignified, but I see it as perfect.
Because of treatments for his prostate cancer, and following the removal of a sizable portion of his colon, Daddy always knew where every restroom was in every store, restaurant, and gas station. And, as he was an extremely practical soul, he would heartily approve of the memorials given to him be used for the purpose of a more accesible restroom.
Daddy loved Yokena Presbyterian Church. When asked during Sunday School class one day what he thought would happen after he died, Daddy made the following quip.
"I'm not worried about it. I am going to be a little angel with wings floating around everwhere, checking on the Sunday School class."
Tomorrow, I think he will be watching from Heaven. And beaming with pride.
