Tomorrow, Jan 10th, is the one year anniversary of my Dad's death on his 90th Birthday. What a blessing it has always been to be the child of such an amazing and loving father. I still miss him every day! Sometimes, for just a moment, I find myself thinking that he's just home with the rest of the family in Arizona, as I go about my days in the Congo. Often I think if he was here with me, some of the things that I can't get would be so easy for us to make. He was always my "partner in crime" as we planned and plotted things together. He was always such a good problem solver, such a smart man. But even more than that, he was always my advisor, my supporter and one of my best friends. I hope that he and my Mom are hand in hand now watching over us all and sending love our way. Today I miss him more than usual.We also remember the passing of our sweet Grandma Jameson 14 years ago on Jan. 10th. We are grateful that we can both say, as Nephi, "having been born of goodly parent" we are most blessed.

Your Dad was an amazing man, truly. I admired so many things about him...how he kept his yard flawless, how he could make anything out of wood, and DID, how he loved his grandchildren and allowed more than one to move right in with him~~lots of patience and true love, how he treated your Mom during her last years and on and on. Yes, you are truly lucky to have been given such a good Dad. I know you miss him. We all do.
He's been on our minds, too. He is such a great man.
Hi there! As I was reading this post I realized that "Grandpa Bird" passed on the same day as Grandma J! That's pretty remarkable that you get to remember both of these special people on the same day.
I'm sure they are keeping watch over all of us! Kim
