“Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

I was only 7 when my dad died. He died in September and I can hardly remember him, much less what I got for Christmas that year. I do remember one gift though, a diary. My oldest sister gave it to me hoping that I could spell out my grief so to speak. To get me started, she turned to the anniversary date of my dad’s death and made an entry stating that fact.
