celebrating....

Yesterday my dad would've turned 50. We got together and had a party.




We had the kids release balloons, since they all love them! This was the only decent shot of all 4 of them :)









Yesterday was a good day. Today has been a good day.
But my emotions come and go. It's hard to put into words the kind of dad I had. He was just such a great guy.
So we celebrated his life, and will be celebrating his legacy forever.
Love you dad, Happy Birthday!

Aubrey...my heart is breaking for you. I so know what it's like and it brings those emotions of my Dad's passing rushing back. I don't think they ever go away, I still miss him so much, but time does help some and knowing what we know with the gospel helps some too...it still doesn't make me miss him any less right now though. I am glad you celebrated his life...we do that on my Dad's bday too...we all get together because we know that's what he would want. I hope you find comfort and peace at this time and know that I am thinking of you! I know both of our Dad's were struggling the past several years and I just hope if you need to talk you will call or email me. Love you!!!

What an awesome way to remember his life and legacy. Considering how amazing you are, I'm sure your dad was one of the best. He'd have to have been pretty spectacular to have raised such a wonderful daughter. Let me know when we can get together, SOON!
