One Year Ago

One year ago today my dad passed away.

I can't believe how time flies. So much has happened in the past year. Grandchildren have been born. Missionaries have come and gone. We personally have bought a new house, become parents, lost a job, found a new job, and started school again to list just a few.

When I reflect on death, I think about how interesting it is that life continues on and all that remains of that person are the memories they left behind. It reminds me how important it is to live each day to the fullest. It teaches me that we must always be kind and to never let a day go by without letting your loved ones know what they mean to you.

I'm sad that Cayson will never get to know his Grandpa in this life, but I am grateful to know that we will be able to see each other again someday. Thank you dad for the life you gave me and thank you for bringing Meleta, Ben ,and family into my life. I will forever be grateful to you!
