FATHERS DAY 2011

DAD

the one who has always been

 the anchor in each of our lives.....

the sounding board through hard times...

as well as good times.

Giving advice, help and love

always the one sure thing 

 his children could depend on. 

Being able to spend Fathers Day with you

was a wonderful experience.....

And to go back to the church

that I attended each week as a child

brought back some special memories..... 

such as.....

I remember being so hungry one Sunday..

that I snuck back up to the Primary room.....

and took some of the bread that was left over

from the Sacrament.....

I don't know why we had the Sacrament in Primary.....

but we did.

I repented.....

It was raining buckets when I was trying to take these pictures

(The "sacrifices" I make for this blog are simply endless)

I also remember our family speaking in sacrament meeting one Sunday.

The meeting was set up in the cultural hall (the window furthest on the left)

because they were remodeling the chapel....

I played the piano..... (badly I'm sure)

I don't remember what my dad said in his talk,

but I still remember his voice.....

strong, deep, and kind...

just like it is today. 

My parents are my rock

I love and appreciate them more than they know.

Now my son is making memories with his son...

As Brecken sang to his dad in Sacrament meeting on Fathers Day....

I remembered doing the same when I was a child in Primary.

We are all anchored in the love 

fathers and children have for each other....

The circle of love continues....

Never ending

 always expanding..

Generation after generation.... 

Children loving and honoring their fathers..

HAPPY FATHERS DAY

to all the dads in our family!
