My Father

I want to say Happy Father Day to my Dad. When I lost my dad at the age 16 1/2 yrs old. My mom was diagnosed with cancer. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t know how I could move on with my life and I was at a steady position. I just wanted to give up on life. But what has helped me to keep going? Its when I automatically started remembering the good times I had with him. The road trips we took in his 1972 Ford Pickup Truck from Utah to Montrose, Colorado we had a good time because my dad and I we talked about anything and I knew I could tell him how I feel about life and he helped me how to figure out how I can adapt to life and whatever challenges that come in my way. I sometimes go fishing with my othere brother who is also disabled a little. My dad was a great example and I want to try to be like him in some things. My dad was always friendly to everyone and he tried to spend time with his children and othere of our family members. Even though I dont have a dad here physically who I can spend time with or be around. I know that the good times we had I can always have them in my mind. I love him alot and I miss him but I know that I can see him after this life because we are sealed as a family through the Temple. I am greatful to have a dad and I hope I can be a good example for my future kids and family when I get married after my two year Mission. I want to follow his footsteps.
