Well, today would have been by Dad’s (Peter Brueck) 67th birthday. Unfortunately he only lived to be 52. He was a great and godly man. Although he stumbled sometimes, he had a great foundation – the Word of God. My sister Dagmar and I were blessed to be raised by such a man. He taught us family values and morals, all based on God’s Word. This past Friday I had to think about him a lot and actually broke down (after 14 years); I never realized how much I miss him. Fortunately I am married to a wonderful, caring husband who told me to “just cry – it will make you feel better”. Yes, it did – and I know that I will see my Dad someday again. Thanks Dad for all you have done for me and my family – Happy Birthday – bis bald im Himmel.
