Family
It's pretty rare that he lets me post pictures of him, but ... this is my dad :) And I'd like to wish him a Happy Father's Day from the bottom of my heart! Everyone has their rougher times, and we're no different, but still - I love him a lot.
On Monday, I was out with my family at a park by the river. Beautiful, beautiful place. I saw my dad under the pavilion and went to talk to him. I found him analyzing the structure of the roof - the engineer in him showing through. That's one of the greatest things about him - he knows so much, and always wants to share (and learn more). I admit, I haven't always been the most teachable, but ... I've always been the one able to say, "My Daddy can fix that!"
I gave him a big hug, telling him I loved him, and he said it back - and somehow - no matter how hard life had felt before - in that moment, it felt okay. I felt okay. We walked back to the car together and Mum smiled, "Are you figuring out the meaning of life?" In a way, Yes. Love is such a big part of life. Really, it's everything. And family - that's a huge key. To the gospel, to happiness, to true fulfillment.
I'm so grateful to have the family that I do :) They're all amazing! But to one in particular ... Daddy, I love you :) <3

That is a very loving message you have here, I am sure your father would be just as proud and feeling blessed as you are because of him now.
