"A Love Without End -Amen"

This song has such a special meaning to my family and I. This song is by George Strait. A little background. Being Fathers day this song brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it or read the words. This song has meant so much to me. My Dads all time favorite singer was George Strait he loved seeing him in concert every year and this song was a special one to us. After losing my Dad as a family we listened to this song and it meant more to us than ever before the words were so true and so comforting and brought us a peace and a realization that a fathers love is forever and ever without end. I wanted to share the lyrics and on this Fathers Day Honor my Dad.

"Love Without End"
I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye. Fightin' was against the rules and it didn't matter why. When dad got home I told that story just like I'd rehearsed. And then stood there on those tremblin' knees and waited for the worst.


And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us." He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

When I became a father in the spring of '81 There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my father's son. And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end, I took my daddy's secret and I passed it on to him. And I said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us." He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."

Last night I dreamed I died and stood outside those pearly gates. When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake. If they know half the things I've done, they'll never let me in. And then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again. And he said, "Let me tell you a secret about a father's love, A secret that my daddy said was just between us." He said, "Daddies don't just love their children every now and then. It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen."


In Honor of my wonderful Dad who I forever love and miss with all of my heart. Dad, you are my hero for all you stood for and believed in and for your everlasting courage and enduring strength during your time here with us. I wish you were here to share one moment more or another day. Your memory lives forever in our hearts especially this day as we honor you and feel you nearer to us.
I know you are in a glorious place now surrounded in the loving arms of our father in Heaven. I know you are fulfilling your eternal mission teaching and sharing with those who seek the truth and light. You are also with those who love you as much as we do and that gives me comfort knowing you are all together.
I have hope of tomorrow and the love we will once share again forever. I miss your hugs and your gentle smile. Those memories of you are printed in my mind and my heart and everyday I know I am closer to seeing you again and sharing a love that will last until forever.
Thankyou for being my Dad. I am so blessed to have a fathers love that only you could give me. This day and everyday I love you and honor you. I will always remember you. A fathers love is a love without end, Amen.
I love you Dad, Happy Fathers Day.
