It is such a blessing to have my dad in my life and even though he feels like he has become a burden because his body doesn't move as well as it did in his younger days and he requires a little help from us now and again, I continue to learn from him valuable lessons every day and I wouldn't trade this time with my parents for anything. He is an amazing man of patience and humor if I could acquire just have of each of these traits I will feel I blessed. My kids have a bit of his quick wit and we all enjoy his sense of humor. I can remember a lot of these same traits in his mother and I loved her for that. I wonder if grandpa Larsen wasn't a bit like that too but he was gone before I was old enough to know him well. Dad says most of this comes from the Sorensen side of the family. No matter - as long as it continues to be passed on through our kids and grandkids because it is such an amazing gift. Thanks dad for being such an amazing dad and for being such an important part of my children and grandchildren's lives.
