I neglected to get my Father's Day posts up on Sunday... but that doesn't mean that I don't love the dad's in my life! I am one of the lucky ones that was blessed to grow up with an incredible man as my father. My dad is one of the hardest working men that I know. He is so amazing. He has so many qualities that I admire and hope to have someday.
He was always there for me growing up. I always felt that he loved me and wanted what was best for me. When I think of my dad... the first memories that come to mind are our Sunday interviews with him. He would call each of us into his room one at a time and ask us how we were doing. I loved it because it created an environment where we felt comfortable talking with him about things that we were doing in our life... or things that we were struggling with.
He was always so good to get us up in the morning for scripture study. My sisters and I shared a room at the bottom of the stairs and I remember many morning where we were awakened by the light on the stairs and the familiar "It's time to get up for scriptures!" Our family wasn't perfect in our daily scripture study... but I will always remember my dad initiating it whenever we did it.
I had the opportunity to work with my dad at the Health Center for two years of my life. It was the best job ever because I got to see my dad everyday! I think I created a real friendship with him during those years of my life.
I've seen a new side of my dad since I've had children. My kids are so lucky to have a grandpa that loves them so much! He is so good at playing with them. They love riding in his little tractor around the yard! I was especially lucky for my first two because their grandpa got to be their first nurse in the hospital. There was something so comforting in knowing that during the first few minutes of their lives, they were in the hands of my father... a man that I trust with all of my heart!
I love you, Dad. I am so grateful that I get to have you in my life. Being so far away is so hard on days like Father's Day when I would give anything just to hug you! :) Thanks for being the best Dad a girl could ask for. I love you!
