The Life of Jennifer Dawn: Sometimes there are no words...

Sometimes there are no words...

Today my dad would have turned 58...
His courageous 5 month battle against pancreatic cancer ended tragically in October...
I don't really have words to express how I'm feeling today--a little over three months after his death...
They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
If that's true, maybe these pictures are enough to express the thousands of words that are swarming around in my head that I just can't seem to piece together...
Daddy with me...

Papa holding Lydia Grace for the first time...

And Eli...

 Walking me down the aisle 5 years ago...

Walking my sister down the aisle just days before he passed away...

Speaking of my sister...
She recently wrote two beautiful posts about our daddy on her own blog.
One was about her wedding day.
The other was written today.

Hug and kiss those you love!   And cherish every moment!  That's all I know to say...

  1. I know exactly what you feel,my dear Jennifer...
    My dear father didn't resist a bladder cancer... I don't see him about 35 years ago, but I feel his presence near me every day.
    There are no words to express the love in these photos.
    Love from Portugal,

  2. I've never commented before, but I've linked up craft projects many times, but I just thought I'd comment here, cause, well, it just felt right. My own dear daddy died when I was 13. It's been about 13 years ago now, & you know, I've found myself still shedding great big tears over the fact that he's gone more so in the last couple of years, than I have when it was more fresh. He was such a godly example of God's love - like your dad. It helps to know that He is in a place of no more pain & that my Heavenly Father is holding me together here on earth. He's holding you & yours, too.
    Love,
    Bess
