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!
