02 Apr 2007 A man moves from childhood to manhood when he accepts the responsibilities given him by His Heavenly Father. Even when those responsibilities include the ultimate sacrifice. Whether in combat, a car wreck, or a domestic dispute. God is the only one who knows when you are coming home. Dad, we miss you very much. You and mom are in God's care now. We still carry on, day by day.
