{6 Years Ago}

Today is February 8th. I lost my sweet Dad 6 years ago today to a heart attack. He was only 54. I was 29. He was young. I think about my Dad every day. I miss him the most on tough days. Anyone who knew my Dad knew that he was quite the guy. Handsome, smart, hilarious and sarcastic. He was very kind too. There will be nobody else like him, ever. I look forward to the day when I will see him again after I die. I hope that day isn't for a long long time though.

I wouldn't ever want to miss watching my kids growing up and going on missions, getting married, having children, etc....
I hate that my Dad hasn't been around to see these cute kids grow and experience their funny personalities. I took their picture today to make a memory. I am going to get them printed and hang them up asap. I'm horrible about doing that. I take so many pictures but then they sit on my computer. There is no reason to take the picture unless I am going to enjoy it! That is the special thing about pictures. Go print and hang up any you might have been wanting to hang in your home:)

Sweet, Dana. I wish he was here to see his children develop their talents (like you have) and to witness the wonderful grandchildren growing up.

I miss him so much too. He would be so proud of you and his beautiful grandkids. I love those picture, especially of Breck. She looks so beautiful and peaceful. And Jonah is so handsome and I love Gavin on that white chair.

This was tender to read Dana - your dad was a great man. I think he would have loved playing with your kids and seeing what a cute family you have.
