So, my Dad just sent me an email with something that I wrote on the computer when I was about 8 years old. Apparently, it was for some sort of class assignment. I had to interview someone and I chose my Dad. But I couldn't resist sharing it with you guys.
And to be honest, not much has changed. Well, except for the whole "I want to be an artist" and "I have Guinea Pigs" deal. Cute, huh? And I still love my dad just like this. He's great. And he recently celebrated a birthday. So this post is in honor of him. Dad, you're one of my most precious blessings.
My Father
My dad was born in Allentown Hospital. He was special, yes sirree! When he was one he fell down the stairs alot but he never got hurt. Once he call "Mommy!" then fell down the stairs. He was so dizzy!
He had three brothers, Lee, Ray and Jimmy. He was the third child. It was fun! He lived in the city. They played ball in the alley. He had to walk one mile to his bus stop. He loved his second grade teacher. He wanted to marry her!
He loved science and music. Science was his favorite subject. He did not like art. It didn't suit him. His favorite game was marbles. GI Joe was his favorite toy. He had chores to do, like brush his teeth, make his bed, set the table and mow the lawn.
Once he visited Mount Rushmore and the Grand Canyon. He caught his first trout when he went fishing and once his dog at his friend's ice cream right off the cone!
When he was a teenager he moved around alot. It was scary moving to new schools. When he was in High School he was the photographer for the town newspaper. His first job was cleaning floors in a nursing home.
He met his wife (mommy) in church when he was praying for a good wife and the Lord did give him a good wife. She is from Easton, Pennsylvania. He has four children, Jessica, John, Ann and Rachel. They are very special to him. Jessica is eight and loves art and is a good speller. John is seven and loves sports and skateboards. Ann is five and likes the Magic School bus. Rachel is four and loves to talk. Daddy prays all of the children will love Jesus.
He now helps people put new computers in their companies. He likes to read his Bible, look at the stars and go fishing. His favorite Bible verse is Galatians 6:14. His favorite song is "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." His favorite color is blue. His favorite food is pork and sauerkraut. His favorite candy is Zero bars. His favorite pet is a German Shepherd dog. His favorite sport is baseball. His favorite flower is a white carnation.
He would give kids my age advice to love the Lord your God with all your heart and soul and mind and your neighbor as yourself, ad to listen to your Mom and Dad.
Daddy takes us to the park sometimes if it is not wet. Sometimes we go swimming in the summer. It is fun being with Daddy. Sometimes we go to the museum. We go to the beach and look for crabs with Dad and Mom. We love them very much.
My Daddy loves Jesus very much. I will never forget that. I love him so much and he loves me. My Daddy calls me Jess Lynn and the Sweet Bear.
We all live in a cozy blue house near woods and near adventures. Sometimes we go in the woods when we have the chance. Our Daddy loves the outdoors. He loves to look at the stars and moon. In fact, he loves the solar system.
You know why I love my Dad? Because he loves me and that is all that matters to me. He always will and I always will.
Jessica Lynn Haldeman was born August 18, 1987 in Abington, Pennsylvania. She is the oldest of three sisters and one brother in her family. Her hobbies are art and reading. She loves Jesus and she might want to be an artist when she grows up. She now lives in a light blue house in Sellersville, Pa. She is now the happy owner of an albino guinea pig who just delivered two albino babies, named Snowball and Vanilla.
