all my life I've been very close to my parents, my mom went to be with jesus about seven years ago. four years ago my dad got remarried, I heard my father say just before he remarried, "I have to give up my boy's (meaning my brother and myself) and that's what happened, he gave up his only children to be with this person. Even tho my brother and myself are in our fifties and have lives of our own, it still hurts to never see our father again. I live 2,800 miles away now and with the loneliness I have felt, the Lord took over! I have never felt so close to God as I do today, and I've been born again for 36 years. I praise God for being there for me and filling me with the Holy Ghost. It makes my sick to hear people say that there is no God, I'll tell ya my God is REAL REAL REAL! and Jesus is the way!
