Today I want to pay tribute to some great dads I know:
my dad, John's dad, and John.
This is my dad. He is a hard worker, very smart, solid in his testimony of the gospel, and a great example to me. I love my dad.
When I was in high school, I got to work at my dad's office during the summers. It was a 25 mile drive each way, which gave us some one-on-0ne time together that I'm not sure many other of my siblings got to have. We didn't necessarily talk the whole time, but I still got to have some quiet time with him as we listened to talk radio. I came to truly respect my dad and his dedication to our family. While he was not super physically affectionate with us kids, I knew he loved me. He worked hard to provide for our family. My mom has always said that one of the qualities she has appreciated about him is his total loyalty to her. He is a great example of living the gospel and serving others. 
Dad, thanks for humoring me when I tell you I'm your favorite daughter. I love you!
This is John's dad, doing what he does best - working!
He taught all of his kids to work hard. He is always giving, giving, giving. I'm grateful for the way he welcomed me into the family with open arms. He's always concerned about how we're doing and I appreciate that!
This is my husband John. He is the best dad to his kids.
He LOVES his kids and tells them regularly. While he hasn't been able to live with his kids for most of their lives, that hasn't stopped him from being there for them. He took them on vacations by himself. He's attended all of their events - sports, school, concerts, etc. John has faced a lot of challenges as a parent and I admire and respect him for that. He, like his father, is a hard worker and service oriented. He has a GREAT sense of humor! I hope someday his kids come to appreciate all of his sacrifices for them.
Johnny, thanks for being such a great dad.
I love you more than words can say!
