CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED....

I don't mean literally but my family has suffered a great loss.  My father passed away on Wednesday, so the holidays will not feel the same this year.   Services will be held the Monday after Christmas so I will off the blog for a bit to take care of my family.

God saw you were getting tired,
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you
and whispered, "Come to me"

With tearful eyes we watched you,
And saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove
to us.
He only takes the best.




I wish you all a Happy Holiday with your family.   Life is short, make sure you spend time with your family and make peace and tell what you want to say.
