A little happy............
I was just watching the dvd that Ginger gave all of us for Father's day a couple of years ago with all the pics of dad. My kids watch it all the time. It ALWAYS brings tears. Well today while I was watching it I was thinking about when Pres gave me a blessing before he left, and gave all the kids blessings. In his blessing for Travis he said.....Travis may you comfort your mother, as only you can. At the time I didn't really understand that, but since then I have really been aware of how he does comfort me. He loves to remind me of things that Papa used to say, as well as things that Dad would do and say. I make the boys alternate days of who gets to sit in the front seat when I take the little boys to school every morning. Travis says the heated seats make him go to sleep. Well the other day he was so tired, and I looked over and said Travis don't go to sleep, we are about two blocks from the school. He didn't even open his eyes, but he immediately said, mom I am just resting my eyes like papa bill. I burst into happy tears. I love that he knows that, and remembers. I just thought I would share that. :) I love the songs you picked for that dvd too ginger. They really "GET" me. I cry every single time. The kids are playing it over and over right now. Jake just comes and stares at me. It amazes him when he sees me cry. Maybe he thinks I don't show enough emotion, so this is a definite to put on the dad video. :) Well I had an amazing Sunday. Absolutely adore all of my friends and family. Thank you for everything yall do for me, and the boys! :) Love yall!

You and your family are absolutely amazing. This brought tears to my eyes to read. Your children are simply amazing. I am so grateful to be humbled by your stories of your father and I can't wait to meet him! Love you guys!
i was just down in corpus w/sharon and george, visiting george's dad. Sitting on his kitchen counter was a funny card which had a funny little "dad" comment about "just resting my eyes". so made me remember dad. maybe all dads do that . . . !
i do love to hear the grandkids talk about their papa bill. i hate that he is gone - especially for them. but then they think of him as much or even more than we do. sweet spirits they all are.
So glad you had a great day!
That was really sweet. You have a great family.
Awww that totally reminds me I need to watch that again.
