A house is not a home when someone is missing, especially daddy !

A father represents stability and security for millions of American families. Those families without a father normally spiral out of control.

For the Bell family of Byron, Georgia, who are so thankful for their dad, Mr. Mark Bell, are right now saying their prayers for him to return home after two cardiac arrest surgeries last week...God Is Good !

Mark Bell has lived in a small Georgia town named Byron, right outside of Macon, since relocating from New Castle, Indiana over three decades ago.

A successful business man and a community leader, today take pride in helping to raise five grandchildren.

Today, as always he is the man his neighbors can always count on in times of need.

"My dad is a great man. He will do anything for anybody, who needs his help, without taking a penny. We have a tug of war relationship, but to tell you the truth, my dad is my best friend", reveals his beautiful daughter, Brandi Bell.

She adds, " My daughters, Savannah, and Hanna thinks the world revolves around their grandfather...They call him 'Papa Gummy Bear'. This past week we thought that we might have lost him to two major surgeries. Perhaps my deceased sister April, was his angel, and allowed him to return home once again...We love you Daddy!".

So in an acknowledgment of fathers and faith , I want you all to click on the link below. It's about Daddy's Home by Jermaine Jackson. Welcome home Mark !
