In Loving Memory of Terry Howard Myers June 7th, 1950 – June 8th, 2008 Happy Father’s Day, Dad.
Man in the Box
OK… I know I’ve been accused of having a morbid sense of curiosity, and maybe it’s not right to talk about some things, but you know what? It’s my father. If it helps me grieve, then I can write whatever I want. That being said, Dad’s “cremains” arrived today. That’s the funeral home guy’s word,…
Family Night Tonight
The family night for my dad’s passing is tonight. We’re having “Family Night” in lieu of a viewing, since Dad’s being cremated. We are borrowing an urn, since Dad is being shipped off to the crematory in a city near the beach and won’t be back until Thursday. We were in the funeral home again…
Dad Went Home to Jesus Today

Good News!
God is so good. If you don’t believe in prayers or healing, then believe at least that my God is in control of things. He still would be good, and still would be in control of things even if I didn’t have good news to share. But I do have good news to share! I…
