So grateful that I was able to do the eulogy for my dad for those who were unable to make it: Today we celebrate the home going of an amazing father, son, brother, cousin, uncle, nephew, friend, and most importantly man of God. I could stand here today and list all of these accomplishments, talk about how perfect he was but there isn’t enough time in the world. My father had the kindest heart he was the most Christ like human being I have ever known. Though he made mistakes like all of us he had qualities that are extremely hard to find in anyone. No matter who what when where or why he always forgave from the bottom of his heart. When the world was cruel to him he gave nothing but love back. He didn’t think about himself but only wanted the people who he loved to have everything they needed and more. He lived the meaning of “turn the other cheek” for that he is my hero. My father was my best friend he was always there for me and always told me when I was wrong. He was the life of the part and would break out in song and dance at any time regardless of who was watching. All he ever wanted was happiness despite how he was feeling on the inside he did his best to make everyone around him happy he was so sincere with everyone’s feelings (when others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. romans 12:15) I remember him pushing me at times that I wanted to give up the smile on his face when I walked across that stage in 2013 was priceless In a room full of thousands of people all I could see was him screaming and jumping like he was my biggest fan. I cherished every moment with my dad from hours of talking on the phone about life and our perspective on random things to him and jaleigha flying up to see us for the weekend. I remember when I found out that I was having a baby oh man was I scared especially of telling my dad. When he found out he tried so hard not to talk to me thinking that I would learn my lesson but he lasted all of about 24 hours before he called me telling me he loved me and was there for whatever I needed. Let us not be sad on this day but instead remember the good times. I bet every person in this room can think about a time when my dad made them happy when they were sad, made them laugh after crying, or to truly believe that our lives were worth more than we thought they were. . My father’s actions were the true meaning of unconditional love. My daddy is at peace because he gave peace to the world and for that I am at peace (purse peace with all people and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. Hebrews 12:14)
