Since today is Father's Day I wanted to share my thoughts on the fathers in my life. At church today, Phil Sherfey gave a talk on fathers. All of his talks are amazing, & this one was no different. He stressed the importance of fathers & of being mindful of their inspired wisdom in the home. My dear husband has been such a great father, & I don't want to let this day go by without "journaling" my thoughts about him. I want my husband to know how much I respect. love & appreciate him. We were married 10 years this past May, & this past year has been the best year of our marriage. I adore the ground he walks on & cannot imagine my life without him. He truly is inspired in so many things especially with the kids. He is a wonderful father & so much like my very own in many ways. My father passed away from cancer when I was just 14, but I loved him dearly. I still think about him every day. My mom remarried just a few years ago, & her husband, Brad, has now become a father to me & a grandfather to my children. He is a wonderful person who we have a blast with on outings & vacation. He is such a prankster. And of course, I cannot forget the miracle man in our life, my father-in-law Bernie. He just received a new heart a little over a month ago. He is a testimony to me of the will to live if I have ever seen it. He was determined to live & was an example to us all. Lastly, I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for all of these fathers in my life. They all mean the world to me.
