I know Father's Day was yesterday, so yes I am a day behind on this. I just wanted to let everyone know how grateful I am for my Dad. I feel like I am really good at letting my Mom know how grateful I am for her, but sometimes I struggle letting my Dad know how equally grateful I am for him. I am so lucky to have such a strong, righteous, loving, kind man for a Dad! He is so good at being a Dad. He has always been at every single one of my softball games, soccer games, basketball games, cross country meets, and track meets. He has supported me in everything I have ever pursued and has helped me become who I am now. I have also loved watching him be equally as supportive of all of my brothers. I love how happy he is to go to all the silly T-ball games with a bunch of 5-year-olds running around having no clue what they are doing. He is also such a great spiritual leader. For a lot of years I think I based my testimony off of his, because he is so unwaveringly faithful. I think I sometimes still lean on his testimony to help me get through hard things. As I was looking for a husband, one of the things that I saw in Billy was the potential to become a great of a man as my Dad, and as great as Billy's Dad for that matter. I am excited to see Billy become a Dad and to have daughters feel the same way about him as I feel about my Dad! I love you Dad!
Had to throw this one in here.... :)
Oh Caitlin! This is the best gift I could ever have for fathers day! Thank you so much for sharing those thoughts with me. I know I'm not perfect but you made me feel like I am. I love you more than words can say.
