Families Are Forever

Saturday was a special day we went to the Birmingham, Alabama Temple to preform Daddy's work. On the way there Friday we drove through lots of rain and it was weird the closer we came to Birmingham the brighter the sun tried to shine. I have never seen rainbows end right before my eyes on the street in front of us. We were driving right through the rainbows it was so beautiful like Daddy was lighting our way with his joy and everyone made it safe. On Saturday the Baptism, Conformation and Sealing was wonderful and the spirit was very strong throughout the entire day. I am so thankful to my Father in Heaven that we have the opportunity to be sealed to our Family for Eternity. I love our WHOLE Family and could not imagine the thought of being separated from them after such a short earthly existence. I felt Daddy's spirit was with us throughout the weekend and watches over us. I love you, Daddy! I Miss You!!! I did feel

Father's Day

It is the first Father's Day without him and it is very hard. I just want to pick up the phone and hear his voice. I regret that I did not spend more time learning more about him and the person he was. Being your Dad you as a child don't really ask questions about their life and what they remember about being a child or a teenager and what it was like to be a father. Daddy always had his stories though. How he wanted to trade me in for a boy when the Dr told him he had a girl. I wish I knew why he called me Ace. I loved to hear him tell how he met my Mom. He was a special Dad and I loved him dearly. Happy Father's Day, Dad. I miss you.

Old Friends

A friend from Middle School found me on facebook yesterday this is a pieceof her email it was touching what she remembered...She said "I remember growing up and coming to your house to camp out. Your dad used to make those awesome gum/candy holders. I think I still have one at my dad's house somewhere. Also, I remember that neat wooden spiral thing that would turn with the wind. Not sure what it was called, but you were always so nice to share those with me. Your dad was very talented. Didn't he and your mom do those kind of things together? Wish I was artistic like that." I forgot about all those things he use to make and how many windturners or whatever they were we had on the front porch.

I miss ya

I miss it when daddy mowed the grass in every which way he wanted to, because he wanted to rebel from his grandma when he was little. She always made him mow grass in a straight path. So when he grew up he was bound and determined to mow the grass in zigzag, up, down ,sideways any way but straight. And cameron loved to ride along.

We always said we should have taken more pictures of daddy.

You know daddy was not perfect, but I think he was a stubborn man and it just took him a long time to warm up because by the time we were older and especially when we started having kids and he became a grandpa he became a softer man. He loved to bake cookies at Christams time and bake bread every Sunday while we were at church. I miss ya Daddy. Hannah the Hacker, Dennis the Menis and Ali oop, will always remember and love ya.

I remember always being a daddy's girl. I don't think I ever heard Daddy call me Amy it was always Ace. He had nicknames for us all. I did everything I could think of for Daddy to walk me down the isle for my marriage to Bill and to my surprise it worked he walked me down the isle and I even got a first dance with my Dad.
