Father's Day!

There's only 40 minutes left until it's officially Father's Day. As I sit here and think about the special date I can't help but feel much gratitude. Here's the 1st reason why....
My girls are SO lucky to have Scott as their Daddy! He is seriously the best. He's incredibly loving, patient, fun and tender with them. He works so hard to give them the best life possible. No matter how busy he gets with life, he always finds a way to make time for them. I am always amazed that after a long hard day of working 12 hours he never sits down to relax. He never sits down and watches TV. Instead, he plays with his girls, and never complains. He's amazing and I couldn't have picked a better Daddy for our girls!!! I love him to pieces!

The 2nd reason I feel so much gratitude is this....
I, myself, have an amazing Dad! I can honestly say that my Dad is Superman! He, too, worked super hard for our family and never complained. He was always working a bunch, serving his callings with all his might and also stayed active running, doing marathons, playing baseball and especially basketball. I remember being a teenager and wondering if my Dad had a pack of Energizer batteries in his back because he never stopped. He always set such a great example and didn't just teach us how to be good Christlike people, he showed us. Now that Dad has been battling cancer the past few years my admiration for him has grown 10-fold. We have had the pleasure of having he and Mom in our home the past week and I have been brought to tears MANY times over his strength. He is suffering SO much, yet still finds a way to be optimistic and smile. It's incredible! I love Dad with all of my heart and am so blessed to have him as mine! He's my hero.
