Happy Father's Day...You've always been my best friend. I love you dad.


Dear Father,

     I thought that I would take a couple minutes and wish you a late Happy Fathers Day!!! I couldn't let this day go by without saying something! Seeing that you have been there for me literally throughout my whole entire life. You have always been such a great example to me throughout my life, and I am so grateful for that! I have never met such an honest, hard working man such as you in my life. I can try to think of someone who was a better example of how to work hard, but I can't find someone who tops you! I am so grateful to have you in my life. All of the memories we have together are literally priceless. Football games, practices, hunting, fishing, working hours upon hours together on cars. Those are memories that I am going to cherish forever. I know and have some friends that aren't as lucky as I am to have a dad like you, and I don't know how they do it. Because I know that you have been such an amazing blessing in my life, and I am so happy to have you in my life!! I think about you literally everyday. When I come up with conflicts out here on the mission, or am faced with challenges, I think, "what would my dad do in this situation?" and then follow what it is that I would think you would do. I can't wait to get home, and continue right where we left off! You've always been my best friend, and the best father that a kid could ask for. I love you dad. I hope that you had an amazing fathers day!!!! Which I'm sure you did :)


                   Love your one and only son,
