My father was buried on Saturday, September 27, 2008 in Coleman Texas. For me, the day was a blur but I wanted to share a little bit with you. My father had a sweet tooth. Considering the size of it people who knew him were always amazed that he never had a weight problem. Daddy would eat breakfast, mid-morning snack, lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner, night time snack. Each meal was ended with a "quiting bite" that was usually sweet and there was always candy in the house. He loved chocolate!!!
When we were discussing the arrangements I asked my sister if we had talked about flowers. I have never liked the big "family spray" that is usually on the casket and said as much. Now if they could do something with Snickers and Baby Ruth's that would be more like him and everyone could share the candy after the service.
Well, this is it. I thought it came out very well.
