Today marks the 3rd anniversary of my Dad's death. As I reflect today I can't help but think of all the fun times I had with him.
I know I have mentioned most of these before, but a few of my favorite memories of him are these:
- Dad being my softball coach for many, many years!
- He taking me to his office many summer days, only to slip out after lunch for a day filled with shopping!
- He always telling me to tell my Mom that the purchased items (on above referenced shopping trips) were on sale!
- He driving me and my friends to many Burnsville Hockey Games - some were very far away and many were in very bad weather.
- He drove me to seminary all 4 years.
- He fed all my babies their first bottle.
- He called my boys on the phone every day just to chat.
- He told jokes very well.
- He had an interesting childhood that made for some great Sunday dinner stories.
- He loved socializing with others.
- He loved my friends and was thankful for them.
- He got to ride in one of my company helicopters and talked about it afterwards for years! That made me happy.
- He appreciated me - especially my vast computer knowledge. (Well maybe not vast, but he thought so!)
- He loved to sneak my baby boys snacks, especially ice cream and COKE!!
- He was always looking for a new water feature for Ethan.
- He always got down on the floor and played with the boys even though it was hard.
- He was my biggest fan!
I love you and miss you Dad!!
