dad

love, joy, laughter, giggles, touch, hugs, comfort, security....

i believe those words describe my dad.

i love him with all my heart. i feel blessed to have him as a dad. PTL.

we just went to the olive tree in anaheim and had a marvelous meal with melissa and christina. he arrived there early and because he loves people so much he just decided to sit outside and talk with all the people there. once we arrived he already knew all the people who were working there. instantly, joe (the owner), and susan (the waitress), recognized him. they knew that he was related to me. they started talking and my dad told them that i was his daughter. susan ran to the kitchen and prepared the food that i love. once i got there, it was ALL READY. i felt like royalty! it feels good to be such a regular at a place that i love.

i was so encouraged. joe kept telling my dad that he was a "lucky man" to have daughters like him.

joe and susan have become dear friends of mine over the years. i am glad that their service of making the best arabic food around has brought us to become friends.

we have talked about jesus a little bit. i want to get to the heart of Jesus though. soon, very soon.

tonight was good. community is good. and family is beautiful.
