Believing that Dad has Finally Found his Peace

Jessica | August 24, 2015

180d13b7fceb63dd0341bd4eedb6b034This quote made me smile, and I wanted to pass it along to our readers.  While there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss my dad and wish he were here, I like to think that he has finally found his peace.  For that is what he hoped to accomplish the day his life ended.  I believe that is what every person is trying to accomplish when they end their life.  The thought of him being happy, free from the demons that filled his head, has brought me peace.  On a clear night, I love to sit outside and get lost in the stars.  I talk to my dad, and truly believe he is listening.  While he may be gone from this world, he is not gone from my life.
