Happy Birthday Dad... I really wasn't going to do this because I have had about enough emotions for one week's time. However, My sister requested (sort of) and I can't refuse (and no, I didn't forget).
This will probably go down as one of the oddest Birthdays for my father that he isn't here for. The scan tonight is from my dad's favorite books... the scriptures. I have never met someone with such passion for learning as my dad has. I mean, I like to learn, but he likes to learn about things that really matter. Another great thing about my dad, is his unwavering faith and helpfulness. He'd do anything for anyone at anytime. He was very service oriented and fulfilled any assignment given to him to the fullest. But, as life seems to go, he isn't with us this Birthday... He isn't even here to tell us that he is actually one year older than he truly is, cuz that's what he does.

I thank you and I love you!

Here's to more birthdays Dad.

Tools...This evening, I was helping my Dad install a new faucet in the kitchen. My Dad doesn't usually get mad......but......when he does, it usually is directed towards inanimate objects such as tools. I can't explain it, but something about tools gets my Dad sooo incredibly frustrated. I have to stand back with my jaw dropped wondering to myself why he is so mad at a tool. It's either the tool doesn't work to his specifications or the tool isn't the right size, or it just isn't the right tool at all. Well, whatever it is, it sure makes my Dad upset.
