Let's See What Dad Thinks

It was hard to pick just one so here a few. When I was little I wouldn't let My Dad Touch my Mom. They use to call me the birth control kid. Most of us kids are 2 yrs. apart. My younger brother is 4yrs. younger than me. I was born in 72 and he was born in 76. My Dad never got Mad when I pushed him away, all he did was laugh. I learned to help others, and to look at the glass half full. Life is what you make of it is what he told me once. I remember when I broke my arm when I was little. My mom would say let’s see what your dad thinks most of the time if dad said it was broke it wasn't and if he thought it was sprained it was broken. There was one time I thought I was going to be in big trouble. Dad Just got his New Tan Chevy truck it was only 2 weeks old. One dad he showed me how to use the gear shift. I felt big. well he was working at a house on 1700 s. while I sat in the Truck I played with the gear shift. well the sad thing is the truck started to go backwards. I jumped out and started to Yell Dad, ‘Dad the trucks moving’ I tried to stop it by holding on to the side view mirror but it was starting to pull me backwards. All I heard was let it go we can replace the truck but I can't replace you. We had angels with us that day. The truck went down the driveway and out onto 1700 s around two trees on the other side of the street back onto 1700s and into the neighbor’s yard. During that whole entire time Dad was chasing the truck. After all that no bump or scratch on the car, and Dad all he did was give me a hug and say I love you. Dad thanks for giving me away at my wedding, but I will say it was hard when you said I love you Jody and you'll always be my little girl. I know my dad loved both of his little girls so much. Dad I will miss you and I want to thank you for the great example you were to this family. I know from watching you and Mom go to church and the temple each month that this Gospel is true. All the little stories you shared help me know that you knew it to be true. I will tell you right now I will live my life and serve others to honor your name. Lots of Love always your little girl Toady!  Jody Rich Fetzer (daughter)
