Dad, this one goes out to you!


My dad is the one of the greatest people I know. He cares about others more than himself, gives his ALL in service, and works endlessly. He is an artist, a musician, a father, a leader, a worker, talented, thoughtful, prayerful, loving, and so many other things. He has his rough points like all of us, but he and my mother, and HIS mother, give more than any other people I know. They don't just give ALL they have, they give ALL with a FULL heart. I am so blessed to have them as parents, and my grandma as my grandma of course. My parents are on a Mission in Peru right now, and my dad has had some health problems show up in the past few days. I am told he collapsed today and his heart stopped, and that he has to have a pacemaker put in. Well Dad. That news surely hurt my heart. I pray for your pain to ease, and for you to be at peace. My heart is with you and my arms are giving you a hug, even if you can't feel it. We love you very much, miss you, and pray that all will go well. All our love! Wish we could be near you to show you how much we care.


When youre weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all;
Im on your side.
when times get rough, And friends just cant be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down.
When youre down and out,When you're on the street,
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you.
Ill take your part. When darkness comes
And pain is all around,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Sail on silvergirl, Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend, Im sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
-Simon and Garfunkel

I am sorry to hear about your dad. That's not fun to hear from such a far distance. Will he be coming home? Aren't dads great. He is in our hearts and prayers. We miss you guys.
