Twenty years ago day my Dad passed away. I think about him everyday. I pass by pictures of him that I have around our home and think how blessed I was to have such a wonderful father. Even though miss him so much the joy in the memories I hold so dear, gently pushes the sadness away. I was holding his hand and saw him take his last breath. It was sad day for me. I miss him here on earth but I know one day we will be together again.
I find my self wishing he were here to see Cash and Colby. I know he would love playing with them and he would be so proud of his great-grandsons. I will tell them about Grandpa Federer and show them pictures and let them see his cowboy boots and hat, so they will come to know what a great man he was.
The
older I get, the more I realize just how much my Dad gave me. He taught me to be humble, and to always give people the benefit of the doubt. He taught to give without expecting anything in return. He taught me to respect Nature and the Earth. I can can still see him standing outside in the early morning hours, taking the time to enjoy the beauty of the Wyoming prairies.
Today and everyday I offer a prayer to give thanks for all my Dad gave me, for the sacrifices he made to take care of our large family.

I miss my Dad and I love him with all my heart.
