Best Dad Ever!

So I have always been really close to my Dad. He has always been there for me. Starting when I was younger I remember him reading me stories every night, having arm wrestles that I always won, and assuring me that Santa was real. Everyone knew him as camera man Mel, and he never ever missed one choir concert, basketball game, volleyball game, track meet, etc..... Even though he worked graveyard shifts, and I'm sure should have been sleeping, he was always there! Things have not changed much.....he now has arm wrestles with Ella, and was at all of her soccer games. He has been our best babysitter, the kids love to have him over. I could go on and on about the things he has done for me. I feel so blessed to have him as my Dad. We had to say goodbye to him tonight and it just really hit me. I love him so much, and am going to miss him so much! Lets all pray for some cheap airfares so he can come visit us soon! We pretty much spent the weekend with him, and yesterday he did some family pictures for us up in Albion basin, and then did the hike to Cecret Lake. Heres some of the pics he took.
