Recently, my step-brother came to visit me and then handed me the Bible I have posted above. He asked me if I wanted it? I opened up the front cover, and this is what I read.....
Presented to: (had my Father's name on this line)
By: (Had my name on this line)
Date: Father's Day, June 21, 1987
I had forgotten that I had given him the bible, I lost my father in 1994, and his things mostly went to my step-Mother and Step-brother. I felt like my step-brother had brought me a treasure, It was especially timely since I received it right before Father's day. The one thing that makes me chuckle now, is that the Bible is in LARGE PRINT! When I gave this bible to my father, I didn't appreciate large print, but this "GrandMa" does NOW!
This quote, makes me think of my father.
"A Father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to me."
That is so special!!!
