Happy Fathers day

Last night we took Kyle's kids out for milkshakes and Matthew started to sing the rhyme, "Ice cream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream." I asked him where he had ever heard that, and he said that Kyle had taught it to him. I told him that that was one of grandpa Clifford's favorite little sayings, and that Kyle must have heard it from him. I got to thinking about how long it has been since Dad has gone. It has been over 19 years, and I still miss him. There are times when I just want to give a hug and tell him how much I love him. It is so great to have the gospel of Jesus Christ to help us understand that this act of love will be possible when we are reunited. I know that all of you are carrying on the traditions of the family. Thanks for being such a great son.
Love Dad

We love the sensitive side of Dad - scrap booking on the web! Be careful, you'll be addicted quickly. We'll add you to our blog.

I miss Grandpa too. I wish my kids knew him. What's funny is that you look like Grandpa and I look exactly like you so if I steal the ice cream they'll be looking at Grandpa anyway! We appreciate you and your endless support and love.

I cried when I read the comments from Dad. We are all grateful for the memories of Grandpa and his legacy. Dad, our kids will be doing the same things to their kids with their memories of you.
