A Pirate Looks At Forty

Dad's most favorite spot in the whole world


Tuesday May 24th, 2011 will never be forgotten. What took place that day changed my life more than anything ever has or probably ever will.

My father, Glenn Thompson Cook, met our Lord and Savior in Heaven that morning.

To be honest, it still hasn't truly sank in just what has happened. Because my parents lived in Birmingham I didn't get to see them all that often. My dad visited me about once a month and would stay with me at my house in Spanish Fort. Since his passing it has simply felt like an extended amount of time between visits.

Through everything that's taken place since that Tuesday my mindset has not been one of questioning what God has done. He has been preparing me this year even when I didn't think I could handle any more! The chronic pain I deal with daily was just the start of these preparations earlier this year.

I loved this quote I saw recently:
"God doesn't bring men to deep waters to drown them, but to cleanse them!"

Thank you for your prayers.

Godbless!
