The twinkle in his eyes and quick smile showed his
contagious joy
To hold his hand was to feel safe, secure, loved
In the Air Force, he was a brave defender of our country
As a pastor, he was compassionate and empathetic: listening
to people’s problems, offering hope.
Taken too soon, he will always be my hero, my first love.
(I will try to post a better picture tomorrow - this is all I have access to right now) :)

or fiction in 57 words or less.
Very sweet. You are a pastors daughter? Like.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wy! Yes, after 20 years in the Air Force he was ready for a change and became a Lutheran minster. First church was in New Orleans, second and final was in upstate NY.
