24 years ago, I was born again in a public display of my faith. Technically, my “birthday” was yesterday, but Father’s Day is always so special.

The memory of my post from 2020 popped up. You can read it here:

The years without my earthly father don’t get easier. I’m still reminded of the loss, but maybe the pain isn’t as fresh and doesn’t bring me to absolute tears as often.

Father’s Day is a day that’s not on my radar like it once was. It used to be a day I’d look forward to, as I stated in my old post, but now it’s just a symbol of losing the one guy on earth I miss the most.

If Father’s Day is hard for you, you’re not alone.

If you still celebrate with your father, please hold onto those times and treasure every moment. Nothing can replace a good Dad in this world. ❤️

I’m thankful for my decision all those years ago and the foundation my parents laid by taking me to church for the opportunity of that seed being planted. Without my faith in Jesus, I’d have no hope of seeing this man again.

Thank you, God, for making a way for sinners like me.
