Happy Birthday, Dad!

Some of the special things about my dad.

• I am grateful for the love you show mom, your children, and grandchildren.
• I appreciate how you care about your mom and sister.
• You have always worked hard to provide a comfortable life for us and we have never gone without anything we need.
• I am grateful for your testimony of the gospel and your desire to do what is right.
• I love that you take the time to write special messages in the cards you send to us and let us know you love and are proud of us.
• I appreciate your courage to travel with my family, especially when we fly standby.
• I love that you care about having family dinners and are always excited when we come to visit.
• I think it's pretty cool that you finally have an email address and send my kids emails.
• I think it's even cooler that you know how to text and I don't!
• I love that you have found a new hobby in genealogy and hope you will teach me what you know someday.
• I am impressed that you gave up drinking Coke and wonder if I will ever be able to do the same. I think your peanut M&M habit has replaced your Coke habit though. ;-)
• I appreciate how you encourage Clint and have been a mentor as he experiences the ups and downs of a sales career.
• I appreciate how you have helped us when life has been difficult.
• I really appreciate how confident you felt about Caitlin's recovery and future when we didn't know what effects cancer would have on her.
• I love that you have confirmed both of my kids and I was especially touched by the special blessing you gave Caitlin.

And just so you know, you may not be Kysa's favorite guy, but you are ours. We love you dad! Have a great day.
