My Dad

Thank you for.....
Hauling me up to scripture study every morning at 5:30am
Teaching me how to work hard- with responsibilities like milking goats and seeing your own amazing example.
Taking us camping.
Thank you for forgiving me when.....
I wrapped the S10 around a pole at the gas station just days after getting my license.  I will never forget  the calm., forgiving manner in which you and mom examined my handiwork.  You never yelled- and I was so grateful.
I love that you will.....
Strike up a conversation with anyone.
Compliment complete strangers.
Go way, WAY out of your way to help anyone and make it seem like its nothing.
Always see the good in everyone.
Thank you for....
Supporting my activities.
Making your family your most important priority.
Sending me roses.
Thank you for.........
Loving my kids.
Loving my husband.
Selflessly providing for your family.
I love you Dad!!!

I was thinking as I read your post I don't think I have a picture of me with my dad. Have to do that. Thompsons are amazing. He sounds a lot like my father-in-law in going out of his way to help others. I'm sure it's been passed down to his kids.
