I have had so many people email and facebook and call me about my dad and it is overwhelming for him to think about all of the people that are praying for his quick recovery!
I just want to say that things happen that you aren't expecting at times. BUT... faith is strengthen and exercised by these things that happen. My dad is well loved and we have been praying for him to have a speedy recovery from his hip being broken. Than he realizes that he also broke one of his ribs... and to top it all off, he must have surgery today for skin cancer they found on his neck! He sure is living the life of Job right now - but through all of this, he has received a blessing from someone holding the priesthood and we have the faith that those blessings will be realized if we show forth our faith! It's hard to imagine that we signed up for these struggles and trials - but absolutely reassuring to know that we have a loving Heavenly Father that stands by and is always there! I am so grateful for my testimony and I am extra grateful for such a wonderful man to call my dad!
In honor of my dad, I am making homemade Lemon cupcakes with lemon icing! (my dad loves anything lemon!) I'll post the recipe and the pictures when I am done!

Well put. I love your dad!
I have so much love for your dad. All of you. Even though we don't speak much I love that you are all my family and that we will always have that bond. Tell him good luck and we are all praying for him in Utah! Love you.
