Remembering Dad On His Birthday

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my father
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.

Amen.

Today, my beautiful Daddy would have turned 70 years old. His life was cut short by the horrors of war and death that fills this Earth {I was only five}. Today I would like to honor his memory in prayer and some pictures of him in his military attire.

Love you, Papi, Lord willing one day we will meet again!

Te adoro Papi lindo!
