Dads

My van waited until I pulled into the garage...then it completely shut off.
What are the chances that it made it until I got home? That's the big guy looking out for me there.
Alternator.
Bummer.
My dear sweet husband spent the evening fixing it, and didn't get to bed until 11:30 PM, even though he has to get up at 5:30 AM to go to work.
Before the kids had to go to bed, Kade spent some time in the garage hanging out with his dad. I am so grateful for a husband who is able and willing to explain to him what an alternator is, and what it does.
Then I thought about the man who taught my husband what an alternator is and what is does, and how to change an old one and make a car "go" again.
He taught my husband how to fix stuff, how to work hard, how to be an honorable priesthood holder, how to save money, and how to be a good father.
He is a dad, a grandpa, a brother, and a husband. He is also very sick. We are going to lose him.
We love him so much and ask for prayers on his and his wife's behalf.

That is so sweet! We are also very sad that Leon is going to leave us all behind. Our prayers are with you and the whole family.
