November 5th. Remembering My Dad.





This is the one very big day of the year for me.  It brings back memories, sad and happy, and also questions and regrets.  Every year is going to have a November 5th.  Slowly and quickly it creeps up and suddenly there it is - begging me to go down memory lane once again. Today I heard a song sung by MercyMe that put a perfect voice to my feelings.

Finally Home
by MercyMe

I'm gonna wrap my arms around my Daddy's neck    And tell Him that I've missed him
And tell him all about the (wo)man that I became     And hope that it pleased Him
There's so much I want to say     There's so much I want you to know.

When I finally make it home when I finally make it home.

Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King     Frozen in my steps
And all the questions that I swore I would ask     Words just won't come yet
So amazed at what I've seen so much more     Than this old mind can hold.

When I finally make it home when I finally make it home.
And the sweetest sound my ears have yet to hear     The voices of the angels.
When I finally make it home when I finally make it home.

First Morning in November 2010

Couldn't believe my eyes this morning when I looked out of the window.... I grabbed my camera and ran upstairs to capture this photo (not edited in any way) ... beautiful!
