I LOVE U DAD

Today was the one year anniversary of my father's passing. I thought about him all day long and how proud he would've been to see me have my first baby 2 months ago. How I wish that he was there to share in the joy Brock is to our family. He loved all of his grandchildren. I was blessed to have him be a witness to my temple marriage to my best friend. After many years of regrets and error ( I had to do everything my way which ended up the hard way), he was so glad that I was so happy with a great husband like Scott. I miss being able to talk with him or see him when I go to mom's house. It was always a honor to call him my Dad...even in his grumpy moments.


WILLING WORKER....my dad was hard-working, from his job of 25 plus years, to yard work, to working on cars he gave it his all


INDEPENDENT....my dad taught me to be self-reliant from changing a car tire to getting a job and earning my own money


LOUD...my dad had a booming voice especially if he was mad. I learned to obey just by the tone he set


LONG SUFFERING...my dad had patience till the end from the stresses from his children, to my mom's numerous unfinished piles of clutter he hated


IMPORTANT...my dad supported me and showed up to all my soccer games endlessly rooting for me LOUDLY from the sidelines.


ACTIVE...my dad was always active in church and led us by example


AVOCADOS...had to do 2 A's my DAD loved to eat Avocados


MOTIVATED...my dad encouraged me to be better person
