I am thankful for my dad.   He worked very hard to provide for and support seven children.   He taught me how to work hard.   We always had a huge garden and he raised cows.   It was when I moved away that I began to appreciate him more.   Whenever he visits he is always finding ways to help me out.   He is now retired but still working hard to help out his children and grandchildren.
The last few years I have been his date to his mission reunion, where we have the opportunity to listen to his mission president, Thomas S Monson.   Each year I learn more about my dad.   He is a great man. I love him.
