Today I was busy. Today Red had basketball practice and then the twins had a party at church. There were kids to be taken care of and no time to really think. Then it happened. That moment in the busy day when for a fleeting moment, things slow down and you think. I remembered. Today marked 3 years since my Diddy, my hero went home.
Today 3 years ago my world was changed forever. I could have been angry. I could have screamed out at God demanding answers but I didn't. I remembered. I remembered the things my Diddy taught me about God and His Plan. I remembered the time he had cancer and we were all worried yet my Diddy was at peace with things even when he was scared. I remembered the lessons I was taught growing up about God's peace and love because my Diddy and Momma made sure I was in church.
Yes I miss him daily.Yet today as I weep, I will remember the love my Diddy had for us and the legacy he left us. Today as I get a little down, I will remember the good times and laugh. Today as I look at my children, I will remember the things he taught me and pass those things on to them.
Today I miss my hero. Today I will remember that one day when God is ready to call me home, I will see him and my God. It's all about God and His plan and that brings a smile to my face amidst the tears. I can only see the here and now but God knows the entire plan. And who better to trust daily like my Diddy did then the One who has all the answers.
I love you Diddy.
