As a teacher, I think it appropriate to share with you the many lessons you have taught me.
1. Follow your heart. Regardless of how irrational or at times impossible a desire seemed, you were able to put it into a realistic dream.
2. Work hard. Do not shy away from physical work or any job offered. And then do it to the best of your abilities.
3. Have a passion. Find something that soothes you and offers a temporary escape from the world. Do not let it consume your life but instead let it bless you.
4. Live according to your priorities. As a girl I remember wondering why my friends never saw their fathers after school like I did. I knew that our family, second to God was the most important thing to you. I never felt as though money, career, friends or hobbies took a precedent over us.
5. It is never to late to learn something new. You always seem to have a new idea up your sleeve and are willing to learn whatever it takes to figure it out.
6. Never preach, instead provide others with the opportunity to receive their own revelations and understanding.
7. Serve others. You never made a show of your service, and I would often only hear of the many remarkable things you did, years after the fact.
8. Be interested and invested in the lives of others. You have an amazing ability to not only talk to everyone but you also gain their trust and confidence in a way that leads to lasting relationships and amazing encounters.
9. Know and understand the scriptures. I love asking you questions about the specific sections because you always seem to have fresh insights, is if you had just read it for the first time.
10. Be happy. Regardless of the stresses you carried, I remember you most often with a smile.
Thank you for the countless dishes washed, weeds pulled, father-daughter interviews, family vacations, childhood dreams fulfilled, band practices, scripture studies, priesthood blessings, and continual love and support.
I love you.
