Today would have been my dad's 77th birthday. I sure do miss him, but most days it doesn't seem real yet that he has passed away. Many times when I start to think about him and get a little sad, I immediately have an enormous feeling of happiness overcome me. I feel so much at peace that he is ok. I hope today that he is riding horses with his uncle Wes and enjoying his first birthday with his parents in many years! Or maybe he is enjoying some Pepsi with some old friends!
I feel so grateful to have had him as a stay at home dad. He was always very loving towards me. I know he didn't care too much for us living across the country, but he was always very supportive that we lived where Jeff's employment was.
I loved that he always made my kids feel important when we visited each other.
It is still overwhelming to me how the past few years has worked out for our family. I really do believe that he prayed us to Utah so we could have so much time together during the last year of his life. This experience has given me a sure evidence of faith and a testimony that God hears our prayers.
Happy Birthday Dad! If we could buy Pepsi and microwave popcorn in France, we would be enjoying it today in your honor.
Love you always!
