My 2021 started out with quite a shock. My Dad passed away on January 2. I got the call around 11 PM. He had a heart attack. He had previously had a heart attack 4 years ago or so, but this one he was not able to overcome. The Bismarck 2nd Ward was so kind and loving. They made us feel so comfortable. My family, Ward family, and friends have all been so loving and kind. I am so grateful for all of you and the prayers you have said for us.
This day was the hardest day of my life so far. I know I will see him again. I am grateful for the gospel and the knowledge that we can be reunited. My Dad always made sure we went to Church and had a relationship with our Heavenly Father. It was such a comfort to be in a Stake building much like the one I attend here in Texas. It reminded me how me of how many people love and care about me.
It was so great to be around the family that was able to travel to the funeral. It was wonderful to spend that time with my siblings sharing tears, laughter, and lots of memories. It was so great to see my Aunts, Uncles and cousins.
We all went out to eat that evening and shared our memories and tears. I wish we could all get together more often. As we were reminded life on this earth is so short.
