Father’s Day is upon me and I’m having some sentimental moments so I thought I would put my thoughts out there for you to enjoy too! My mind and heart are struggling today to keep all the emotions at bay, but I do have some things I would like to share and people I would like to thank.
My Dad: Thank you Dad for all the things you taught me. Thank you for teaching me how to work hard. Thank you for teaching me how to play hard after the work is done! Thank youfor teaching me how to take responsibility. Thank you for teaching me a love for animals. Thank you for teaching me how to manage my money. Thank you for teaching me how to love and take care of a spouse. Thank you for teaching me to have a love of the gospel.Thank you for teaching me what a great Dad should be! Thank you for all the little things you did when I was growing up and all the things you do now to show me how much you love me and my family. I love you so very much!
Jer’s Dad: Thank you Dad for teaching Jer how to be a dad. Thank you for teaching him how to work hard and take responsibility for his actions. Thank you for teaching him to love the Lord and appreciate all the little things in life. Thank you for worrying about me now that he’s not able to take care of certain things. I know I give you a hard time about how you don’t need to worry about me because I’m a big girl, but I sure appreciate it! Thank you for loving me and my kids and for still looking out for us. I love you so very much!
BIL’s: Thank you so much for always taking time to make sure you horse around with my kids as well as your own. Thank you for always making sure they are included on any fun things that you do. Thank you for being great examples of how to be a great dad. My kids need good examples of strong men in their lives and I’m so very grateful I have all of you!! Thank you for reminding my kids of the great Dad that they have. Thank you for sharing your stories of the many adventures you took part of with Jer. I love you so very much!
Dave: You’ve been around since before there were even kids in our house! Thank you for spoiling my kids on their birthdays and Christmas. Thank you for having enough energy to spin them around, give them shoulder rides, ride them on “airplanes”, and take them on “helicopter rides.” Thank you for taking care of all the little fix it stuff around here that I don’t have the energy or patience for. I’m so glad that you are so close and that we can help each other out! I love you so much!
I am so blessed to have a Heavenly Father who knows me better than I know myself. I am so grateful for the knowledge that I have that I will live in Heaven someday with all the people that I love the most. I’m so grateful for the love and patience that Heavenly Father has shown to me. There have been so many tender mercies shown to me the last 20 months and I’m grateful for each little one.
Last but not least, Jer. Thank you babe, for being such a great husband and father. You didn’t get to be an earthly father for very long but you showed your children so much love. They love you so much and always know how much you love them. Thank you for choosing to spend your free time with us while you were here on the earth. We know that you are still here helping us and teaching us. I can’t wait until we can see you again! I love you and miss you. Forever and ever.
