We have a gentleman a our church that is 97 years old and fell and broke his hip just like Dad did in 2005. He underwent surgery to put pins in his hip and survived his surgery just like Dad did. He is doing quite well to this point, just like Dad was. Well it got me thinking about Dad as I talked to this man’s daughter, and brought tears to my eyes. Christi mentioned that next year on this day Day would have turned 100 years old. I have one of my favorite pictures of Dad sitting on my desk in my office where I am writing this.
I thought I would share a few pictures of Dad and Mom over the years also that brings happy thoughts when I think about their life together and Dad’s great faithfulness to our great God.
This picture with Dad in the back row was taken at Hudsonville Baptist Church 50th
anniversary celebration. Dad was one of the charter members when the church started.
This picture of Mom & Dad we found as were going through Dad’s stuff after selling his condomium.
This picture of Dad’s favorite chair you would usually find him in when you came to visit him. He would either be reading the press,or a good book,or his favorite hobby toward the latter years,taking a nap.
And finally this picture of Mom and Dad’s grave stone with a beautiful bouquet of flowers that Phil and Sherry provide each year.
I thought you may find some interesting facts that I looked up that took place the year Dad was born and some interesting people born that same year. We miss you Mom and Dad and look forward to seeing you again someday in heaven.
Dale & Christi
