Tribute To The Dad's

I am a few days late, but I want to pay tribute to my amazing Dad. Anyone that has ever met him knows that he is just awesome. I got this quote from a talk by President Thomas S. Monson in an e-mail from Family Gems and it describes my Dad so accurately. The quote goes as follows...
"Father . . .
is ever willing to sacrifice his own comfort
for that of his children.

Daily he toils to provide the necessities of life,
never complaining,

ever concerned for the well-being of his family.

This love for children,

this desire to see them well and happy,

is a constant in a time of change."

- President Thomas S. Monson "An Attitude of Gratitude"
There it is folks. That is the best description of my Dad, and who's better words to use than President Monson. My Dad is an amazing man in every aspect of his life. He is the best father I could ask for, he's an AMAZING grandfather who absolutely loves all of his grandchildren (even those that are not born yet), he is an amazing husband to my Mom, and a loyal friend to all. I love my Dad for the great example that he is to me and all of the wonderful things that he has done for me. I LOVE YOU DAD! I also have to put in a plug for my father-in-law. He is such a great guy. He is so supportive of David and I, and I really appreciate it. Thanks for all that you do Jon! And last, but certainly not least, to the soon to be father of my baby, my AMAZING husband! I am so excited for all of the adventures that being a father will bring you. I love to watch your face light up when our nieces or nephews enter the room. You love to play with them and spend time with them. I know that nothing will make you happier than to come home at the end of the day to a smiling baby that just can't wait to get some loving from Daddy. It is going to be an adventure and I couldn't ask for a better person to share it with. I love you! (I know SHOCKER.... but You're Over It! Hee Hee Hee) Smooches!
