Families are forever and always....

This is my Father Dr./Col. Robert Wettlaufer and his grandson Joshua Dickens. Today I am feeling especially grateful for my wonderful family. My father was a family man firstly. My father was and did many things through out his life but a family man he was supremely first. How thankful I am that my father was so devoted to his wife and to his children, absolutely generous. I will never forget a time when he paused at a free way on ramp to hand the man there holding a sign a $20. He said that regardless of how that man was to spend the money he had been blessed and the Lord required him to share, He left the details to the Lord and gave freely.

My Father was not born into a wealthy family, it took sacrifice on the part of his father to send my father to Dental school. My father loved my Mother that was a constant that I never questioned. What a blessing it was to be raised in a home where I was not to question the longevity of our circumstances or family unity. There were some stressful times, some tears, some struggles, some battles of will, some heart aches, and some disappointments, but there was always love, devotion, and loyalty.

I realise now that I'm older that love is shown in many different ways. To some it is service, to others it is verbal, to others yet it is support materially and emotionally.

I know that my father is still loving his family, still serving and giving. I am so blessed and needed to express it...God is good...I am thankful.
