Seven Things I plan to do this First Father’s Day Without my Dad

I'm a follower of Jesus, a pastor's wife, a mother of six adult children (four adopted as a sibling group), and a "Mimi" to seven precious grands! I helped care for my mom, who had Alzheimer's, until she went home to Jesus in December of 2016. During that time my mother-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and moved in with us for almost four years. She just turned ninety eight and is now living in a care center. God sends lessons and smiles through the tears. It helps me to share them and I hope it blesses others.
