Thank You All

My father passed away, unexpectedly, on January 15th. I have never felt so loved with all of the calls, letters, cards, flowers, and the list goes on. It was an awesome moment when I went into the funeral home to see my father laying in state that the only flowers that had been brought in at the time was a beautiful bouquet of white roses and daisies from the Cary Church of Christ Youth Group. It was a surreal moment, and then to have those who mean so much to me within reach was so very comforting.

I was able to spend time with my brothers and sisters (6 of the 8) and many cousins, aunts and dear friends from my youth and college days. I can't recall how often I said it myself or heard it said, but "my how time flies"! I can't say it enough to treasure the family that you have, and especially appreciate the parents who are bringing you up in the "admonition of the Lord". Time is short, and the scriptures say it best, in James 4:14.

You all are so special to Regina and me. I know that we benefit more from you than you do from us...keep up the great work of reaching out to those who need you most.

We love you all,
Darrell & Regina Miles
