I love you

I was searching through my filing cabinet recently. Below the hanging folders, a tattered newspaper article appeared on the bottom of the drawer. I squeezed the folders together to make room and slipped my hand between them to retrieve it.

The newspaper clipping was yellowed and torn slightly. I unfolded the bends and flattened the creases best I could then lifted it to read "Don't wait for a special day to tell Dad you love him."

Of course, I remember finding this article clipping and saving it. So I sat down with anticipation, anxious to read it once again. It did not disappoint.

I went to the Stucki Cousins reunion yesterday in Bountiful. I know you all wanted to go and I fielded questions about you and our growing families.


This picture shows Margaret, Grandpa Bill, Bonnie, Barbara, Grandma Lucy, and Richard.

The words of our fathers are family scripture for us. we have manyes at our disposal to save and share their words of wisdom, advice, and warning. I found a special tribute written by Grandpa Richard regarding some observations regarding experiences in the early days of Castle Valley.

How would our lives be different today if we did not have the legacy left by our fathers and mothers?

Each time we read we should probably ask ourselves "Why did these writers choose these particular stories or events to include in the record? What value are they for us today"
