On Father's Day

It's Sunday. That one day, that's better than all the rest.

My dear ones, that comes from a game that you will never get to play. That is a tragedy. The 90's had such great games and screen savers. Exhibit A:

Man...they just don't make good screen savers like that anymore. 

Pity.

I met with my bishop today, you know, the one who gave me this challenge. Apparently I am the only who to whom he's given this kind of challenge. Apparently it's important that I do this challenge. 

Thank you Yul Brynner

So today is Father's Day. And I have a father. You don't though, no yet. 

And yes, I'm calling out that awkward moment.

Let me tell you about Grandpa. He's pretty cool. My "adopted" brother Marcus (Grandpa's former TA who really pretty much was a brother and who should really send me another box of Lucky Charms) says that Grandpa and I should star in our own sitcom with the rest of the family as the supporting cast. 

I quite like that idea. 

But really Grandpa's a pretty stand-up guy. He's good for movie quotes, movie parties, laughs, giggles, mocking fests (get ready for those, our family has turned mocking into an art form), chatting, a whole number of things. 

Wow, I'm not good at this "feelings" talk. It's just not my style, you know? I don't do feelings, it makes me feel vulnerable and iffy. Yes, that's a thing. 

Grandpa is the best. You are so lucky. He's good for stories and songs and yes, father's blessings. He honors his priesthood and for that I'm grateful. He was the one who baptized me when I was eight, he was the one doing the baptisms when I turned 12 and went to the temple for the first time, he never misses a father's blessing before school starts, yeah, not sure what more I can say. You'll just have to meet him. 

He's the one who got me and Uncle Chris started on music, not playing but listening. The playing part came from Grandma. He was the one who got us listening to Chicago, Styx, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Rush, Asia, Beach Boys, etc. He's the one who would run with Chris and I to all the rides at all the theme parks. I don't know how much was him and how much was just my spectacularness but I never really felt scared of rides (but since it's Father's Day, I'll give him one). 

Yes girls, you come from a good family.
