I miss my Dad!

My dad passed away on August 9th. I haven't felt like I could put into words my feelings and so I have put off writing this post. I thought with time my emotions wouldn't feel so raw and tender. But as time has passed I realized that a little part of me is missing for a time and I will feel lonesome until we meet again. I still don't think I can put into words my feelings. But I feel like I need to pay tribute to one of my greatest Hero's, my earthly father.

Thank you dad for making me feel special, for loving my mother, for letting me tag along at the farm and on the range. Thanks for honoring your priesthood and always being worthy to use it, for being able to leave this earth life with no regrets, for tender words of council, and gentle forms of rebuke. Thanks for helping me mold my character, for guiding me as I gained my testimony, for being a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, a hand to hold and a righteous example to follow. Thanks for the sweet, tender moments we were all able to share our last while together before you left. I love you!

 I am so thankful for my knowledge that we will be together again. The gospel brings me peace and joy!
