Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day Daddy!! I miss you more than words can say. I wish I had spent more time with you. I hate that I took our time together for granted. I love you Daddy. Love, Ace.

One of the things I remember about my brother was when I was little he used to watch me when our parents went out. He told me after they left "you can stay up as long as Mom & Dad are gone, but as soon as that car pulls in that driveway you better be in that bed pretending your sleeping, because if you aren't that will be the last time I'll let you stay up". So when they got home I beat feet to my room jumped in bed and when mom opened the door to my room I indeed was sleeping snoring and all.
All though there were many miles between us for a lot of years and too few phone calls and money,every time I picked up that phone (his birthday and Christmas) it was as though we had spoke everyday. But you see that was how it was with my brother ,so easy to talk to,so easy to love.
There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him, I wish I could pick up that phone and spend his birthday and Christmas with him again. I love and miss you! Your Sis Cheryl

Daddy's Birthday in 2004. "Remember the Cake" we had to fix it to what it was suppose to say....LOL but it was so funny! Daddy and his Dragon's. I think this is where I get my pack rat side. Daddy was a collector. He loved to start YOU on a collection too. If he seen something you were collecting he had to get it for you. I have Lighthouses today because of Daddy..




My favorite baby picture of Brayden his pout it matched Dads. He learned from the BEST at having a grumpy face in pictures......LOL

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.
