So many things to say, so many people to thank for so many things. I would like to start by thanking God. He blessed me with a precious daughter. I always knew Ashley was special, I just didnt realize how special she was. She touched so many people in so many good ways. The outpouring of love on our family still amazes me. As Robbie and I delivered the paper this morning we talked about how much she was loved by so many people and how much she loved people. We had her for only a short time, but we will always have our fond memories of her and she will live in our hearts forever. I know I will be sad that I wont get to hear her fuss at me for all the inappropriate things I say and do. I wont hear her say DAD! Usually she was, in her sweet way, telling me to shut up. Oh the happy thoughts. Her love, for me. For Robbie, for everyone she loved. She loved life and as I have previously mentioned was at the time of her death the happiest Ive ever known her to be. I know more now than ever why she loved Robbie like she did. He is such a fine young man. He talked today about how he was blessed to have had her in his life. She was blessed to have him in her life as well. He and I have cried this morning and Im sure I will cry some more. As I write this I know I will cry some more but I am at peace with her passing. She was a great friend to so many great friends. It makes me want to be a better person. To take fewer things for granted. The turnout at the funeral home and the funeral. The long line of cars that went to the grave. The kind words and sweet stories that have been shared with Debbie, Kati, Robbie and I. The prayers, I always have heard people say they could feel when someone was praying for them. I just dont know how folks get through something like this without God. I always speak of choices, well, you can choose to turn to God or turn away from God. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer. I choose to turn to him. I thank Him for his peace. My salvation and my honor depend on God. Because I know He lives I am at peace with My loss. Because He lives I can face tomorrow. Because of His promises, I know I will see Ashley again. I love you precious Ashley. I am Blessed and Highly Favored!!!
