"Your folks are like God because you want to know they're out there and you want them to approve of your life, still you only call them when your in a crisis and need something."
Chuck Palahniuk
What a true quote, not that the only time we call is when we are in crisis, but what a relief that they are there, and without hesitation, come running when we are in need.
Jim and Starla have been such a blessing to us and to the kids this last month, our kids are happy and adjusted, far better than could be hoped for. They have set aside their busy life, literally put their lives on hold, opened their home to the whirlwind and have not only held on but embraced it! We are so grateful to not have to "worry" about our kids, of course we do, but not in the sense of how, what, when etc. They are not only well cared for, but loved, we really couldn't ask for more in this tough situation. What a great blessing that not all grand kid's get than to be spoiled non stop by their Grandma and Grandpa!
My Dad sent this to Jami today, he will never know how timely this was or how much it meant to her.
Dad is not one who ever did things for thanks, he just did them cause "that's just what we do for family, or for our friends."
Living in the same town for 34 years we can't go anywhere that I don't run into someone that I know, most of them are from Provo and "the hill" and it never fails, they always ask
"how's Jack?" or "how's your Dad?"
He was never hung up on titles, just wanted whoever he came in contact with to be his friend. My answer is always the same, Dad is Dad! Enough said.
I can only hope to be like him!
We love you Dad, thank you!
Thank you to our family and friends for the continued support and prayers.
