Dad

I'm thankful for Mother's Days and Father's Days that help put things back in perspective again.

Dad Feb 2008

I miss him everyday, but at the same time there aren't too many that I don't feel like he's nearby helping, in a way more powerful than while he was living.  It's hard to explain but often when I'm in the yard working and I have time to just work and think, I feel his influence and guidance.

I don't remember everything I said at his funeral (probably a good reason to have written it down rather than "shoot from the hip"), but there was something I know I mentioned near the end and that was that I appreciate my dad for teaching me about what a kind and loving Heavenly Father must be like.  And on those days when I feel him near, he continues to teach me.

I love you Dad!
