Gingerbread Houses 2013

 We love family traditions, that's what keeps families together!!

We gather at Tonya's house to put together Gingerbread Houses, eat Chili &

lots of goodies!!! We had every single one of our families there to participate!

Mom's Blog Book

All of us kids had mom's book printed.

Dad has always wanted his own book, and now he has one.

Every picture now of our dad is so precious, so I went through a lot of our pictures

and added them to this book, from 2007-2013.

Every single one of us bought a book, because like I said,

"Every picture of our dad, is PRECIOUS & Priceless"

Putting this book together, proved how busy my parents were with all of us kids,

and then the next generation really had them running.

But they LOVED that part of their life!!

FAMILY is EVERYTHING!!!

Teancum's Tresured memory of Grandpa

"My memory about my Grandpa is when he take me to school when my mom could not take me and we would go to school and he let me sit in frount. I love my Grandpa I hope I can see him again."

Lisia's Letter about memories of Grandpa

"The Memories I got to share with my Grandpa Clay are some of my favorite ones. I remember when he took me on a date for my 9th birthday, we went to go see Iron Man 1 at the $2.00 theatre and we went to El Polo Loco to eat. I remember for my 11th birthday he took me and my brother shooting up out in Hurricane. He also took us up to the "H" in his big Black Truck, then he took me to my unexpecting surprise birthday party that I ran away from. I remember going to visit him in the Kindred Rehab and bringing him & grandma Irene dinner every Sunday. I remember staying in the room with grandpa while my mom and grandma went to a meeting and I got to stay with  grandpa rubbing his left hand so he could get his feeling back. I remember him telling me to be "Aka I" and don't be "Lolo" which "Aka I" in Hawaiian means, "Be smart an "Lolo" means don't be a dumb or stupid. I remember he would always give me blessings and he always gave me my back to school blessings. I loved getting blessing from my Grandpa. I love you Grandpa Clay, give Tierra a big hug from her little sis, and tell her I love her so much.

 I miss you Grandpa and forever and always LOVE YOU. Lisia"

My mom and dad through the years 1968-2013

 

 

 These pictures are of my mom and dad through the years they fell madly in love in 1967, graduated in 1968 and married 4 months later in California on October 25, 1968 and had me, their first child on October 18, 1969.

 My dad NEVER left my mom's side when she underwent brain surgery for her brain tumor.

He told his boss at WalMart Distribution that they could go ahead and fire him, because he didn't plan on coming back to work until his wife came home. He told them that she is EVERYTHING to him and it doesn't make sense to be separated from her for a job. 

 He watched over her NIGHT and DAY!

His advice to us kids when he brought her home was,

"When you have a LOVED ONE in the hospital, DON'T EVER leave them there by themselves, they will kill your LOVED ONE, out of neglect! They don't LOVE them, like YOU LOVE THEM!!"

Their love is like no other. When I found this picture, I can only imagine what their reunion will be like. It will be JUST LIKE THIS, my mom engulfed in his arms and crying and saying,

"I missed you so much Clay!!!" and my dad's smile will be huge.

 These were taken during dad's first stay at Coral Desert Rehab after his first knee surgery.

 

These pictures were taken right after my dad's stroke,

the one on the left was July 25th and the one on the right, August 25th, 2013.

This was taken the night before my dad died, Sept. 9th, 2013.

My mom was ALWAYS by his side and was the great woman behind the great man!!

I called my mom to wish her HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and she shared with me that this was the first time in their 44 years of marriage that she had bought dad flowers. She said that she was at the grave and talking to dad and scheduled a date with him. So she said, "I've got to get off the phone, I've got to get to the temple for the 8:40am session and my date." So I asked her who was going with her? and she replied, "Dad is meeting me there, just me and dad!"

It's so hard to see them separated, but I know that my dad is sooo close but for us we just can't see him, but we can FEEL him!!!

Someone told me that when I randomly cry, it means that our loved ones are near us and that's how we feel them. That would make so much sense, because I randomly cry cause

I miss my dad sooooo much!!!
