Episode 23: A Tribute to my Dad
Walter Lankester Harders (April 16, 1942 - April 1, 2022) was the greatest man that I have ever known this side of Heaven. He was my dad, my coach, my cheerleader, my financial advisor, my insurance agent, my bedtime storyteller, my driving teacher, my advocate, my #1 fan, my first love, my last dance, my friend. And more important than any of those titles, he was my brother in Christ. He went home on April 1st, 2022 after a 12-year battle with dementia and just one day after my daughter, Sophia's, 8th birthday. I am grateful that I was able to be with him in Georgia for his last week of life on earth, and I cannot wait to see him again in Heaven.
I dedicate this episode to him and to the most important lesson that he ever taught me: the Gospel of God's Amazing Grace!
Join me for today's episode of the Peaceful Worldschooling Podcast where I share one of my favorite memories with my dad and the introduction of my first book, Gospel-Based Parenting (now available for purchase here).
