Looking back over these years since Todd has gone home to be with the Lord, I can see countless times where God has been a wonderful Father to my children, who are now fatherless. Todd was a great Dad. He loved his kids with all his heart and had a way of letting them know that...not just in his words, but also in his actions. Our kids knew that Dad would give his very life for them. He talked often with them, individually and as a group (I loved our family meetings!). It is difficult to watch these kids grow up without their Dad now. Taking them to get their driver's licenses, preparing for graduations from high school, advising them about college, even watching the younger ones receive awards...all of these milestones in a child's life are so hard to deal with, knowing their Dad is not here with them.
Yet they have their heavenly Father! He DID give His Life for them! He loves them more than Todd ever could love them! He is protecting them, caring for them, and providing for them. I am so thankful for the many ways God has been so faithful to my children and has kept them safe in His Arms. He is the best Father. Even though Todd was a great one, God is the BEST one!
