We love Dad!

I thought about the scripture tonight "When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God." It's moving to care for our father in his final days. Tender moments of tonight:
  • Lana feeding Dad vanilla ice cream
  • Ryan holding up a bowl so Dad could throw up the ice cream (Bummer! Dad was loving that ice cream)
  • All the kids lifting Dad to another bed
  • Reading through old love notes, some 40 years ago, with my mom
  • Watching a slide show of my parents throughout the years
  • Browsing through old photo albums and comparing the looks of my Dad back in the 70s to now.
  • My siblings attempting to write an obituary.
  • My older brother Reid phoning to tell us his family is coming tomorrow! Yea!

It's good to be together and support each other. I love our family!
