I don't like writing sad posts but I came across one the other day who had lost her mom and it just brought back a flood of memories.
So no sadness here but just a moment of shared memories.

It's been 12 years today that I lost the man I called my dad. We don't share the same eyes, hair color, height, nose nor blood but most importantly we shared love, happiness and family.
He loved me like his own and honestly I never thought any different. I have a biological mom and dad out there somewhere but I never really think about being adopted until someone mentions it. I had a wonderful life with wonderful parents and was/am extremely blessed.
I love hearing about adoption stories because mine turned out so wonderful.

My dad passed away while I was pregnant with Katrina and he was hoping I would be bringing a boy into this world. That didn't come until a few years later and we gave Bubba (Jackson Wyatt Wayne Wilkerson) a piece of daddy's name :)

My mom misses him every day. They were first and only loves. She tells how she left her mommas side and straight to my daddy arms for almost 30 years. She stays true to their marriage and memories and still loves him to this day.

I just felt it needed to be spoken about what a wonderful man, husband, father, grandpa and most importantly child of God, Douglas Wayne Culbertson was and still is in our hearts.
Anyway, no sadness but lots of really great memories.
Many blessings y'all,
Laura
