Yesterday was the anniversary of the death of my dad, Patrick (Paddy), who died on 23rd April 1968. I was 21 years old when he died, and it broke my heart. I adored dad, he was a beautiful, kind, gentle, good Irishman, who loved God, Mum, my sister and me with all his heart. He worked hard to provide for us, though we were never rich in material things, we were rich in love, fun, togetherness and family. For a long time after we left the UK, there were just the four of us, and after my sister was killed, just we three, and we were very close-knit. Mum only live two more years after he went, she just didn't want to go on. I remember him fondly every day, but more so at this time of year. Bless you Dad, you taught me much. I love you. Eilleen |

| Dear Eilleen, I am so thankful you have many good memories of a loving Dad. My dad was never around much when I was growing up and my mother and grandmother did most of the raising of my sister and I. My daddy needed alot of inner healing which he could have gotten if only he had submitted himself. In the elder years of his life he seemed to have more time for his family. Then I was married for 27 years to a rough man. I am single now and Jesus is very close to me, I can always count on His love. He does redeem the years of brokeness. You know, when you think of it, wow, how mighty He is. Love, Shirley  |
