Father's day.



I took these photos back in June on Father's day and oh, be still my heart. 

On father's day, we sent our daddy down for a nap, colored pictures and cards and made dinner and cake and had a nice slow afternoon after church. I've been so blessed with a steady, righteous man in my life to be my partner, companion and friend. I'm so thankful for the example he is and how strong and determined he is to make things work out. I'm in the clouds most of the time, always fretting and doubting and worrying about every tiny thing. He grounds me and makes sense of everything I crumple up. God knew exactly who I needed. 

I remember reading this quote for the first time years ago and feeling it reflected so much of how I feel about Mr. Keller.  

"....What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.” - President Hinkley


This is that immense happiness.

We love our daddies.

And we love to celebrate them too!
Here's to a sweet weekend.

I don't think I know a better man than my father. I say this even now, as I'm feeling whole-heartedly aware of how perfect my husband is for me as my eternal companion, and how wonderful of a father he is to my son(s). But I think I will always believe in my father as the one to fix anything. Including my heart.

Moments accompanied with feelings I will never forget (and that have been so on my mind lately) are when I first saw him come through the hospital elevator when I was laboring with Morgan. I folded myself in his arms and cried because I hurt, was afraid and was entirely comforted and relieved at seeing him. His arms were just what I needed.  And four weeks ago, he sat in my living room and blessed me, his grown, married daughter, with a father's blessing of health, comfort and love, accompanied with promises I needed to hear.

I love my dad. I love him so much. And I'm so thankful Heavenly Father sent me to him.
