A sure promise

My Shepherd and Friend.

For those times in life; when you or I have felt abandon or like an orphan. I want to assure everybody; that was not the case. There is the scripture and particularly this psalm. There have being times in my life when I felt I had been abandoned and a loneliness encircle me. My heart was broken when Mom and Papa died.

There was my big brother and a strong man. United States (Army) Vietnam war Veteran and a man who inspired me to dream big. I wanted to follow his footsteps, so I join the United States Navy. Served during same war conflict period. He was not happy and scolded me for not consulting him before I took that decision . Yet he supported me.

When I left the U.S. Navy, I told him I was now becoming a Police Officer. You have made me a happy and proud brother. I have said all of that to come to this point; when my brother died, God my good shepherd and giant brother was always there for me.

Face front, shoulders straight; march, Big Papa waits at the door of heaven to welcome us home. A bottle of the best perfume with your name and my name is in his hand. There; ready, to be pour over our heads. Joy, joy, and more joy.
