On Saturday, March 22, 2014 my dad would have been a mere 56 years old. I thought about him all day Saturday, choking back tears as I remembered the good times and the times that weren't so good. I was a bit of a handful and Dad and I clashed at a lot of points in my life, but we always came out friends. He was so proud of me and my brother. We were his treasures. I started looking at pictures and put together a memory book. For all those who remember my dad, he was the most selfless man I know. He didn't always go to church and he had some bad habits, but I love him and he loved me! I remember going on vacation EVERY summer. Hence the reason I feel it important to take my kids on vacation or camping as much as possible. Those are the best memories and I am so thankful that I have those memories. For those of you who have lost a father, it feels like you are abandoned and especially when you are still a kid yourself. I was 20 when dad died and just experienced the loss of my first child. I felt robbed for many reasons, but after working through a lot of feelings for 15 years and withstanding other losses during that time I have come to realize that no one gets out alive and all too soon we will see them again! I love the atonement and I love the Gospel. I love my Dad, that is all!
