To the Best Dad in the World!
I am so blessed to have such an incredible Dad! He is so amazing. I love that he is such a hard worker and provides so well for our family. He is so smart and has spent countless hours with me and most of my siblings late into the night helping edit papers, figuring out math problems, and making sense of science questions. And the help has only increased from there, he helps make sense of life and the many choices and decisions, even figuring out health insurance and retirement investments.
This one time, when I was in high school chemistry, I had homework that I couldn't figure out! My dad sat there patiently teaching me and he even helped me with the challenge question. The part I loved best was when he sat there looking at the question and leaned his head back and said, "I remember doing this in college chemistry." I had learned how to do it THAT DAY and couldn't remember, but my dad who has been out of college for decades could remember! I was completely impressed!
My dad is also amazing because he helped me learn to love the Gospel from a young age. We would sit with our scriptures and read and mark them together. I wanted my scriptures to be colorful like his, but it has been such a sweet experience as I have studied those marked verses and found them to be answers to my prayers now! I also remember driving to school memorizing the Articles of Faith.
He also loves to laugh and make others laugh. A classic father-ism is when I would be mad he would say "Watch that smile!" You just couldn't stay mad. To the best dad in the world, I love you!
