I've been thinking about and missing my father-in-law the last few days, mostly because of General Conference coming up. Tom would always go with his Dad to the Priesthood session and I guess the void is more apparent now that he doesn't have someone to go with. I know, I know, he can go with any of his brother-in-laws or his friends in the ward but it's not going to be the same. Most people have a tradition to go with their sons, dads or brothers and Tom doesn't have any of those. I only hope that one day he will have a son to take and they can carry on the tradition that he had with his Dad. I know it was special to Tom and I miss the things that could have been.

Kinda sucks! When Spencer is made a priest in a couple of weeks dad won't be there to help ordain him either. (tear in my eye)
I watch my kids with Dan's father and get a tear in my eye, hating how much I wish my Dad could have been part of their lives. I miss him so much.
