My father, Ronnie Dale Smith, passed away yesterday at 1:15 pm. He was a cowboy at heart that loved horses and knew a lot about them. The only footwear he felt comfortable in were cowboy boots that he took immaculate care of. I would estimate that he had a dozen pair. We were not "rich" by any stretch of the imagination but he always provided for us even during the worst of times. He loved us three boys very much.
He bonded with us the most by dedicating three hours every Sunday after church watching the Dallas Cowboys play with out fail. He is the one that sparked my interest in the game. Those are some awesome memories for me. He was wise and he shared a lot of wisdom with me but most importantly, he taught me about the love of our Heavenly father.
He loved one very special lady, my mom. I learned what real love was by his example. You see, my mom was basically bed-ridden the last ten years of her life. My dad lived to care for her and make her as comfortable as possible and never one time did he ever complain. He was lost when she was taken from him and he never got over it. They are together now and what a joyous reunion it must be. This song is for you, dad......love ya and I will miss you until we meet on the other side.
