My heart turns to my dad today as it marks one year since he passed away. I am so blessed to have had you as a father. I think about you every day and still can't believe you are not here anymore. I had to give the lesson in relief society today and the topic was leadership in which I used you as an example. I couldn't help but think of how great of a leader you were both in regards to our family is a father and patriarch and at church where you served in many leadership positions. What a blessing it was to have had your example.
This day I have also thought about the many things you have missed in the past year from baby blessings, baptisms, birthdays, vacations, holidays, and family traditions to us buying our first home. I missed having you at these events and being a part of our successes. I have missed coming over to your house and seeing you sitting there where you should be. I have wanted to call and ask you questions, tell you news, and get your advice many times over the past year.
It has been hard not having you here with us but I know that our family has been blessed and watched over by your spirit many times this last year. I know you have been watching over us and cheering us on from above. I love and miss you everyday. I love you, Dad.
