My Dad

Today it's been 8 years that my Dad passed away.

I miss him so much.  I keep thinking it's going to get easier each year but it sure hasn't.  It feels like it was yesterday.

I'm so grateful to know that I will see him again. 

I wish he was here to see how happy I am, to meet my wonderful husband, for Jackson to know his Grandpa.  Days like these are hard....

I love you Dad!

Oh Steph! I am so sorry :( I wish I was there to help make your day a little brighter somehow. Loss sucks, period. I love you and you are great and I guarantee he can see you and your wonderful family and is super happy with what he sees!!

I am so sorry! Honestly, I feel your pain. My dad died 20 years ago this month. The hurt never goes away. It dulls after a time, but is brought back up when you least expect it. I know your dad DOES see how happy you are!

So glad for the Atonement and the for the knowledge of the plan of salvation. That honestly is how I gained a testimony of the church- My mom died and I decided I better pray to see if the church was really true, because I needed to figure out where my mom was and if I was going to see her again. I got down on my knees with tears streaming down my face. As I prayed, I KNEW that the plan of salvation was real and that I would be with my mother (and now father) again. Hold on to that knowing that your dad is there watching over you. He is your family's guardian angel! :)
