Memories of my Dad

I have a lot of memories of Dad. I had an opportunity to spend time with him in a one on one setting for several years. Mom was serving in Young Women's. Each week Stephen, Ruth, and Mom would go to Mutual. That left me home alone with Dad. Sometimes we would talk or watch TV together.
I remember one time when we had some used birthday candles. We took a tuna fish can and melted them altogether in it. I know that is a random memory, but the thing that stood out most to me was that we were doing something together. At that time in my life that was important for me. That time on each week on Tuesday night helped me get to know Dad better. We never did anything too exciting and some weeks I would wish that I could go with the others, but little by little it helped to bring us closer together. Thanks Dad!

Memories about dads

Last weekend we (Dan, Pam, Jessica, and I) were talking about recording memories from our childhood. One idea was to pick a topic and have each person write about it and then put them all together in a book at the end of each year. I thought maybe doing it via the blog might work out nice. Please let me know what you think.
So the theme for this month (June) is fathers. You can write about a memory with your father, father-in-law, or about how you feel about being a dad (if you are one). You can e-mail them to me and I can post them or you can get a g-mail account and post it yourself (let me know and I'll add you to the list.)
I think this will be a great way to record our memories and for everyone grow closer together. Also for July the theme will be "Family Reunion Memories".
