I just wanted to express my love for my dad. Today marks 18 years that he past away. Today is also my brothers birthday. Just a breif background for those who don't know. I was 14 when my dad died in a car accident, he was 51. My brother was on his mission in CA. I remember clearly this day 18 years ago when I was told he had died. My life changed that day forever. I remember things about him here and there, but the trama of his death, I seem to have blocked some memories. I remember him as a great dad. He was always there for me and my twin. He had us go to work with him. I remember playing YW basketball and I sucked but he came to one of my games before he had died and told me he would give me $5 if I could make a basket, and I did, so now I have the $5 framed. I remember teasing him because his legs were so white. I remember him as a great dad to me and I could feel his love. There are so many times when I wish he was around and I prayed to Heavenly Father to protect him and tell him that I love and miss him. I know that my dad hears me and is watching over me. I know this because he was with Hunter. It's funny because I see alot of my dad in Hunter. But any way when Hunter was a baby he saw a picture of my dad and said that's grandpa wood. I cried because he could remember being with my dad. This was the first time he had seen a picture of him. I so hope that Bryton will remember him too. Even though I don't feel him or have him around, I know that my dad is with me and that he is with me in Hunter and Bryton, what a great gift. I love you dad with all my heart and I miss you everyday and Ithink of you everyday and I wish I could get up to Star Valley to visit your grave. I think it is so important for Hunter and Bryton to know you and know that I had a great dad and that I loved him so much. Thanks for the 14 years I had with you and for giving 2 great boys that I love. Till we meet again.. I LOVE YOU!
