14 years...

I wish I had some pictures of my Dad to put on here.
I must explain the Diet Coke in the picture. It was his favorite so we take a can or a bottle and dump it where he was buried. Sounds weird I know but even if we don't get there first my Grandparents do it. Just another weird Parker thing!


Kylee wanted to draw a picture for him.

14 Years ago today my Dad passed away. It is always a very difficult day for our family. It has gotten even harder since I had my kids. I was 12 when he passed and even then he always talked about how much he looked forward to when we grew up and had kids of our own. I know that he would love to be here with his grand kids. I look at my kids and wish so much that they could know him in this life. He was the most amazing person I have ever known. There is no doubt in my mind that he is here with us in the moments that we need him. I have felt his presence a number of times. A few of us have even been blessed to be able to see him. I look forward to when we get to see eachother again. Even though I look forward to it I hope it won't be for quite some time! I know my Dad was meant to go and our Heavenly Father had some important reasons for it. Even though he is not here physically I feel him guiding us in the same way he would if he were here. I love you Dad and miss you more than anything!

I am so sorry. I can't imagine how hard that would be. I know Ryan will make comments about his Dad and how much fun he would have been with Logan. You know your Dad is with you and your kids everyday enjoying watching them grow up. :)

He was a wonderful man full of love for everyone he knew or met. I know he is up there with your future kids to come just playing with them and enjoying their sweet spirits. Love You Marcie and your family very much.
