Dad's Birthday was yesterday! He is an amazing man, he is a great father and a very hard worker!
He even helped Robert take down our Christmas lights while he was here on a "vacation"! What a good guy! When I was a little girl, I remember being so excited when Daddy came home! He would lay on the floor and play with us kids. He loves to fish, he is great at fixing things, building things and making things.
When we started building our own home in Vernal, Utah, he and Mom came up to help when Robert had an Anurism, and was in the hospital for over a week, and sick for a lot longer.( He couldn't bend over or he flet like he would pass out, and he was weak. It was a very difficult time for me, I had 5 little kids, 13- 1 year old, a sick husband, and a house that had been started...and Dad just dropped everything to come to Vernal, in the middle of nowhere, to help build our home. It makes me cry just thinking about it! Honestly he is the best Dad ever! And when it was time to lay the tile in our home, Dad's knee was killing him, and he sat on a bucket, and talked me through laying the tile! He taught me how, and since then, I tiled all of the showers, and floors in two homes! What a gift it has been! There are many other things he has taught me, and I am grateful for all he has helped me with and the great example he is to each of us!
