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!

That is so cool that you have that five dollars saved and framed. I bet he is always watching and is proud of you. That is a sweet tribute to your dad. Thanks for sharing it.
What a great tribute Bonnie! I bet he is still so proud of you each day! You have such a sweet family. I am so glad to know you!
Very sad....I could not imagine what you go through each year (each day) knowing that you can't just call your dad and tell him you love him.
I loved reading this! You are so strong...I admire you so much for your strength. I am sure your dad is very proud of you and the person that you are!
Bonnie! You are so sweet and your little boys are so lucky to have such a wonderful mom! I'm sure it makes your dad so happy to know you are keeping his memory alive with his two sweet grandsons!! What would we do if we didn't have the knowledge of the plan of salvation?!? I know you will see your dad again!! I'm sure he is just as excited as you are for that day!! Love you girl!
