I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know what you are going through. On January 16, 2025, I lost my oldest son to an apparent heart attack.At around 2:30 AM this morning our beloved only daughter Nikki at 47 years old left this world after an illness.
She leaves behind four children, two heartbroken parents, and a bunch of precious memories.
When she was child, I would put her on the back of my old 73 Triumph Trident and we would go riding for the day, searching out a new hamburger joint.
She had rather have a good hamburger than anything else for lunch or supper.
We would finally get back to the Holler and she would tell her mother - 'Momma, Daddy sure does like to take those curves fast!'
She would often tell me those were some of her favorite memories of growing up.
Often when things were going sideways in her life as she got older she would tell me 'I need some Daddy time' and I would go pick her up.
We'd find a restaurant somewhere and she'd have a hamburger and we would talk about life and stuff.
For those parents of you who have had to bury an adult child, you can fully understand the profound sense of loss and grief that we feel at this time.
But God is gracious to us and He will sustain us and we will heal over time.
He was 52. There was no indication of any problems. He was working in the oil fields in West Texas and was waiting in line to load his truck. When it came his turn to move forward, he didn't move, someone went to see what was wrong and they found him slumped over the steering wheel. R.I.P. my son!
