While we don't have children, I know you will make a good Father because..... You're a good Husband! Thank you for all your poems, and romantic gestures when we were engaged. I am so happy you asked me to be your wife. I'm so grateful for you living worthy so we could get sealed in the Temple. I really like all home cooked dinners you have made and enjoyed together! As stubborn as you are, you always say sorry and make it up to me! I love how you randomly give me flowers for no reason! I love all your gifts on the holidays. I especially like how you bought me the big chunky necklace for my birthday because you knew I like big "bling" like that. :) You truly know me. Thank you for the pep talks and your daily compliments. I know you probably get tired of the pep talks... but you're patient and understanding. It's been fun to set a budget and goals together. Thank you for going to school. You are doing so well! I can't wait to see what your career will be! Thank you for the priesthood blessings. Thank you for your prayers, and for your constant support and companionship.
I know we don't always see eye to eye, but we have so much chemistry and even more fun! I'm glad I chose you as my spouse. A friend told me that she married "the roller coaster, but she's happy she didn't get the merry go round". I couldn't help using the same scenario with us. :) Lots of ups and downs but thats what makes it fun! I know everything you do is for our future and I thank you for that. I want to have children with you someday, but I'm so happy for a small family we have now. Just you and me babe. Forever!!!!

Cliff,
You've been the best step dad I could have asked for. I didn't want another Dad when mine died, but I needed one. I realize that now.
In my mind, You're what I like to call a miracle. Who knew that someone could have TWO happy endings in a life time? I'm so glad my mom found someone whos patient and kind like you are. Who understands her health problems and that you take good care of her. That it a testament to me how good of a person you are, but also of your unconditional love and compassion for my mom and others. That kind of quality in a person is rare and you surpass most.
During HS I dated some real jerks, and I'm glad you were there to protect me. If I wouldn't have a good family dynamic like I did, I fear I would have got in lots more trouble.
I like your big bear hugs, and I like you and James get along and wrestle when we come over. I like your BBQ spaghetti and miss the Sunday where you would make your traditional breakfast! Thank you Thank you for loving me and accepting me as your daughter even though I was so much older then the kids and gave you a lot of grief! Thanks for paying for my wedding, and so much more! What can I say? I love ya! You're great! (and please don't get mad I posted this picture of you closing your eyes! If I would have known I would have taken another picture!)

Michael,
I've known you the shortest amount of time, but you're probably the one person in James and I's marriage that has helped us the most! Paying for our honeymoon, loaning us money, taking our pictures, helping us move multiple times. Letting us live at your house for a few short weeks, even doubling with James and I to the Temple. Thank you for all your hard work and effort.
Until I met you, and the whole Morris gang. I didn't really know that functional families existed. I really didn't! I thought everyone was as messed up as I am/was. I look at your family and admire what you have. All of your children get a long well, and you and James even do guys night out! I think thats really neat. I really hope that James and I can have a normal and healthy family like that. I look at your children, your job at the ensign, your mission, you running a marathon, your knowledge power, your ability to be frugal and save money, and all your other many many accomplishments and the first thing that comes to my mind is HARD worker. You've done so many things, and done so willingly and with a big ol smile. It's helped me to try and be more charitable. I love you and Susan and I'm glad you took me into your family!

Dad,
Happy Fathers Day! I miss you love you, but I know you are watching over me. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if you were here. I wish you were, but it's okay that you are not. I'm happy and strong person now. Every time.. Def leppard, foreigner, cars, rolling stones, the eagles, etc comes on the radio I can't help but remember when I just a little girl and how I as a sweet, innocent, I was who would dance to your heavy metal rock. Mom hated it! But I always liked your music, I always thought you were cool. Thats why I took saxophone lessons in 6th grade. Because you said it was cool. I wanted your approval. I never did go through a phase where you would embarrass me.
My fondest memory of you is the night I came upstairs because I couldn't sleep and you were still awake. You never did sleep well. You always had the TV on. When I came upstairs-I thought you would tell me to go to bed, but instead you welcomed me in. Mom was a sound sleeper and a snorer! haha! I sat on the floor, and you said you would talk to me until I got tired. You asked me questions. I can't remember what you asked, but I remember getting the feeling like you really cared. As sad as it is to type this out, it was like you knew you wouldn't be around forever, and you really wanted me to know how much you loved me. You didn't fake the interest either. You were geniune. At the time, I didn't really think anything of the moment, but its the one thats stuck out the most.
You and I did get into a lot of fights. I wish we hadn't have, but as odd as it is to say-It made me feel closer to you. You and I were alike. We were screamers. Thats what set us apart from KC, Kyler and Mom who all were so patient. It's been interesting with you gone. I sometimes feel like the rebel in the family because Im so much more open and verbal. You had a temper, and when you set a rule or if I got in trouble I was scared! Don't be offended. This was good. Heaven knows we wouldn't have behaved as well with just Mom. You were a big help to her with that aspect.
I remember when Mom wrecked the van I was terrifed of what your reaction would be. I asked you how mad you were at mom and you turned me around with your hands, and you said in a very stern voice :"Do you think I care about the van? Your Mom and you kids are ALL I care about!" You must have been worried when we wrecked. She totaled the van. We couldn't fix it, but we got a new one. Ill never forget those words. Because of your health problems.. I got to experiences of the greatest gestures of love that can be shown. I'm grateful for those experiences.
You would be SO proud of me and all the things I've done with my life. I have really big plans and goals for myself. Life is good! It was back then, but it is now too :) I love you. Bye for now. Happy Fathers Day!
