FATHER'S DAY

My Regrets........
Last year we spent Father's Day camping with friends in Fillmore. I had a great time but did not spend it with my dad. I called him but it just is not the same. My last Father's Day memory is one of a phone call, not spending time with him. I do have regrets and this is one of them. If I could go back in time I would have spent it with him. My advice to anyone.....make special days ones to remember, you just never know what the future holds. My kids were with Derek & this is where I spent my afternoon. Last night Derek's Uncle Bill & Aunt Pam had a tragic incident happen. They went out to dinner & came home to find their beautiful home in East Layton burning to the ground. I am heart broken for them. They lost everything including their dog. Bill loved that dog and Pam made her home absolutely gorgeous....now it is all gone, just like that. They have always reminded me of my own parents and I feel so bad.
I see these terrible things as a reminder to ALWAYS cherish the moment and stay focused on what is truly important. It is so hard.

I read that on KSL today. That is awful. It just amazes me how fast things can change.
