MY DAD

I have a lot I want to post today, so sorry if there ends up being a ton of posts!!!!
I have been reflecting a ton about my dad today... he is in Utah having surgery, and it is KILLING me to not be there! Generally if there is something going on, I get there... but this time was just not possible. I am so thankful for my brother Dallas, that he is there with my mom and dad and helping them today! I absolutely have the BEST family ever!!! I can't ever say that enough. And it is so due to my mom and dad! They are amazing people, My Heros, My mentors, everything I want to be when I grow up and more! They have always lived their life for each of us kids and now the grandkids! My dad is such a giving person, he is always doing things for others... sometimes at a cost to him. He loves my mom and has always shown us kids that by respecting and honoring her in all he does! He never complains! He loves my kids to death! He is always checking in with me! He loves the gospel and Heavenly Father! He has a strong Testimony! He is very smart and talented! He loves his cars!!!! He is a very hard worker and taught me the importance of working hard! He is a fighter... and that is what I am counting on today... I know it is a routine surgery for the doctor, but it is not a routine surgery for us as a family. This is our dad going under and we love him so much!!! So here's to you dad!! I am sending you good thoughts and many, many prayers... I LOVE YOU!!! Good Luck!!
