The Lessons My Dad Didn’t Say Out Loud (But Lived Every Day)
On Father’s Day, I’m reflecting on the two dads who’ve shaped my life—my sweet, sourdough-making earthly dad, and my ever-patient, always-present Heavenly Father. One taught me how to laugh through the hard stuff, the other taught me how to trust through it. Both have filled my life with more love (and lessons) than I could ever repay.
