Rescued by an Angel:

Rescued by my junior angel:

Last night I woke up feeling really sick and couldn’t go back to sleep. So I did what we all do. I got on the Internet to look up my symptoms. But I was so out of it, I couldn’t even think clear enough to do a search. My vision was also blurred, that I was really having problems doing anything.

It’s like 2:30 am in the morning, so I don’t want to wake up anyone. So while I flounder and struggle to even remember my password, I see a blurred vision walking toward me. Is it an angel sent from God to help me? Yes! It’s my little 9 year old Jr angel.

She can tell I’m ill and having problems functioning, so she gets under my arm and guides me to the couch and lays me down. Then she gets on line and looks up my symptoms on some medical sites. She check my temperature, blood pressure, looks at my eyes with a small flashlight and then gives me two Tylenol, some of the “pink” medicine for my stomach and puts a cool wet wash cloth on my head.

At 9 years old I didn’t know how to wet a washcloth. I especially didn’t know how to take someones temperature and blood pressure.

Next, she’s holding my wrist and taking my pulse.

In the middle of all of this “treatment”, I doze off back to sleep and wake up in the morning at my normal time and feeling fine. She’s still right there with me, wide awake.

She says to me, dad, I think you just got a hold of some bad food or ate something that didn’t agree with you. All your vitals are fine. Vitals? Where did she learn the word vitals, and what it means?

Then I remember the head angel, Sunshine (mom). Yep, she did a good job raising this one and I think she did the same with my other angel (my son). I’m the only one she’s having trouble with.

Yep, I’m the black sheep of the family, but you know, it’s good to be the black sheep in such good hands.

If anyone out there believes in answered prayers, please pray a pray for me. That I will become the Father and Husband I should be to my angels.

Thanks.

Always, Love & Peace........

A Happy Father's Day

Actually, I've had a happy Father's Day every day this month.
It seems that my kids are always doing something special for me every day.
One example of this was on 06/14/2009 at 2:3o am in the morning. I was up late writing and praying.....about not having any friends or a life...ect...ect...(you know).
All of a sudden I looked up to see my 9 yr old daughter standing in the doorway.
She walked over to me and handed me a notebook, gave me a hug and a kiss, and said "Dad, I love you" and then went back to her room.
The notebook was decorated with hearts and stars and writing saying, "To a special dad!! Happy Fathers day!!"
On the first page of the notebook she wrote:
"You are the best dad in the world. You want friends but you don't, because right now all you have is your family. You might think your old, and I do think your old too, because dads are supposed to be old. But you’re still cool. I love you dad!!" "I could not wait till Fathers Day."
God knows just what we need, when we need it, and so do our precious children.
Thank God for my family!
