Not only am I grateful for my Earthly Father but also my Heavenly Father. I know he hears and answers my prayers. He is always there for me but I need to go to him and ask for forgiveness or help. He's willing to help because he loves me and I love him!
Here's some messages from my siblings and I to OUR dad;
Kari: I love Kent because he still talks to me even though I almost pierced him through the heart with a jigsaw. Plus he is always doing things to help our little family out--it's been such a blessing to live so close to such great in-laws.
Micah: oh Bapaw? MY BAPAW!!
Kazia: Zzzzzzzzzz
Jake:
I have a lot of favorite memories of dad. One of the best ones has to do with his humor; He was a leader over the young men and came to youth conference at BYU with us. We stayed in the dorms and Josh and his roommate, Matt Gittins, we're taking a while getting up to go to breakfast. So dad being the mature leader he was pulled out a stink bomb he brought with him. He popped the water sack in it and before it swole up too big he slid it under their door and ran off to breakfast laughing. Seconds later Josh and Matt came through the door coughing, gagging and mad. They didn't suspect dad at first but didn't question it either when they found out.
Kendra:
One of my favorites things about Kent is how he interacts with the grand kids- even when they are itty-bitty. Many grown men avoid babies unless they are their own. He's such a loving fun grandpa!! Thank you Kent for being such a good example to my husband as a father and husband. We love you and are so grateful to have you in our lives. Happy Father's Day!!
Ben:
You are such a great father! You have taught us so much in being a great man and priesthood holder. Your love for family and life are inspiring.
You are constantly willing to serve others. You have taught us hard work and diligence. You also bring out the fun and humor in situations. We are excited to bring children in this world in the future to have a wonderful grandfather like you!
Andrew:
Dad is never hesitant to help me and make time of the family. I look up to him with the way he is able to handle his many callings and responsibilities. He is not afraid to show his love for his family and wife. Happy Fathers Day Dad!
Marissa:
I love you dad! I love that you can make me laugh when I certainly don't want to. I love that your jokes can be stale like grandpas. I love that you tease me (sometimes) like the time that I couldn't wait for mom to get home and you told me that she usually honks her horn when she needs help with groceries only a few minutes later did I hear a horn and find out it was you just pushing the lock button on your keys. And I walk inside to find you laughing so hard you were going to pee your pants. Or the time I kept putting off mowing and you put a dead snake in the grass for me to find. Later when I came inside to tell you you almost had an asthma attack laughing so hard thinking you were so clever. But I love most that you honor your priesthood and treat my mother with such respect and you show your love to her. I hope someday to find a man that loves me as much as you love mom. I can't wait to tell you all about him and ask you to approve. I know that you love me but I love you more dad!
