Well I thought I would never even myself say this, but I'm really been weeping on the inside a lot. Lately as you know I have had the lost of two very important people in my life via the cycle known as death, but today itself hits me Matt like a sledge hammer because it was on this date four years ago that I lost one very neat persons I ever knew it was my dad Micheal Joe Byrd and I can still remember I was standing in my kitchen looking at my own little photo album that I had from when I graduated from my high school of Hanford High school and was just staring so intensely at this very image
of my father knowing he was at Kadlac hospital getting ready to be moved to a Hopsice place in Yakima, Washington to wait out his remaining few days of life after having the Parkinson disease since the early part of two thousand and two, so he was already in pain no matter what because of it and as I was thinking of him I could feel myself tearing up while looking at that thinking endless what ifs. It was a little after eight and my mom was on the other end of the phone and she told me what my sister had told her of his easy passing into God's open grace. Now to be totally honest my dad was not a strong believer in knowing God at all, yet as I sit here listening to the song by Belinda Carlisle known simply as "Heaven is a place on earth" on a rare compact disc album of hers that I have, reminds me of the part of life that my dad loved as much as he did love his time of being born on earth,that one thing can be summed up right here
your still in my heart being loved, Matt Byrd your son
