My parents with Tristan and Cedric
My Dad with the missionaries and Jeremy on Jeremy's baptism day.
My Mom and Dad at their 50th Anniversary party
My Dad when he was little...isn't he freaking cute???
Us at City of Joseph. City of Joseph has to make my Top 5 list on things done in my life. and my Dad was crucial to us being in it every year. He just couldn't NOT be in it.....and that was fine by me:)
Me and My Dad before he walked me down the aisle on my wedding day....bad pic but you get the idea.....
My mom and dad with little TristanYesterday was kind of a hard day for me. It was my Dad's birthday. He would have been 72. I was depressed and out of sorts all day long. I just miss him SO much. He was a GREAT man. he never had anything bad to say about anyone or anything. Just a positive energy. I miss hearing his voice. I miss being able to call him with ANY question I could ever have and he ALWAYS had an answer. I miss his complete and UNCONDITIONAL love for me.....not that his love is gone but I don't get to say it anymore....and I didn't say it enough. He would NEVER knowingly hurt anyone. I miss his goofy jokes he would make. Most of all I miss the father's blessings that he would give me. I just wish that I could see him one more time....because the last time I saw him alive and talked to him, I wasn't feeling well and I didn't take the time to really talk to him. I wish I had known that his death was coming....there are so many things I would have said and done. I know that I will see him again.....it's just hard.
Anyway, sorry if I brought anyone down....that's why I couldn't post yesterday...I just couldn't make myself do it. I'm an emotional basketcase right now anyhow.....

I still miss my dad too (after 22 years!). I think your dad could still give you blessings, just a thought I had recently about my dad.
I was just thinking of your dad the other day and I too said I miss his voice and how he new everything there was to know about this area. I could have sat and listed to him for hours and I'm not really that caught up in the history of this place, but he made it seem like the most important thing there was. Love to you and your family!!
awww, thanks guys. I'm glad other people appreciated the vast knowledge that my dad had of the area as well. I know that he touched a lot of people...and Timpani, I like your thought of your dad still being able to give you blessings......I think you are right. What a super thing the power of the priesthood is! :)
Awwww sweet :) I didn't even get to see grandpa at the funeral or say goodbye. I remember when grandma was out here when I was pregnant in 08, she cried telling me how when they were out here last grandpa really wanted to see me and mom and lauren said they couldn't get ahold of me. Which is a lie. I never got ONE call from anyone! I would've loved to see him :( We all miss him a lot. The picture from city of joseph cracked me UP! I noticed joe, lauren, sarah, and kendall, but not ME! Where was I!!! The star of the show...
I use to go to his Nauvoo History classes every Sunday. I loved listening to all the stories he knew.
