Fabulous Fathers!

I have been very blessed to have some incredible men in my life! My dad is the greatest!!! He is the best example of what a father should be. When I was growing up, he may not have always expressed his love verbally, but he always showed me he loved me! He is such a great example of humility, devotion, dedication and hard work. He taught me the gospel by example, as well. Though small in stature, he is a giant of a man!

My greatest blessing in life is my husband! He is the love of my life! Together we have been blessed with five incredible children! He is a wonderful father! He is the provider, protector and teacher of our family. He works harder than anyone I know! He has high expectations of himself. And of his family, which sometimes the kids aren't too happy about. But he knows how wonderful they are and how much they can accomplish. He is always there to help them if they need it! There isn't anything he wouldn't do for his family! I am grateful for my eternal sweetheart!

I wasn't just blessed with the greatest dad but also with the greatest father-in-law! Everyone should be as lucky as I am! From day one, I have been treated like one of his own. He is a kind, gentle man, with a heart of gold! I joke that sometimes I think he loves me more than his own son! :) But that is just who he is - someone who loves unconditionally and makes you feel like you are the most important person in the world! He taught Dave all the important lessons in life, by example! He is truly a blessing in my life!

Though my son and sons-in-law are not yet fathers, they are fabulous men I am so thankful for! My son is an incredible man! He has such a great heritage and is following the righteous examples of his father and grandfathers. He is compassionate and loving. I can't remember a time in his life that he hasn't freely expressed his love and appreciation to me. I am a very lucky mom! He has been such a great uncle! I know he will be a fabulous father one day! I also have two incredible sons-in-law! They are my sons! I love them! They are the perfect complement to my daughters. They are a blessing to our whole family!

I am so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father! He has blessed me beyond measure! I am grateful to know and feel His love.
