It may be a day late but I figured who would I be if I did a tribute to the mothers and not the fathers. So here it goes:
Dad (Rob Hof): Thanks for always being there to be the example in my life. You always worked so hard but I never remember a day where you weren't there for family events and all of my school stuff. You always were pushing us to have family scripture study even if lucy would fall asleep by the heater in the winter. Thanks for making us laugh and randomly making the scriptures have moms name in them to see if she was paying attention while cooking us breakfast. Thanks for always bearing your testimony because you knew mom wouldn't because she hated talking in front of people. Not only for teaching me about the gospel but for teaching me about goals and going for what you really want in life and not letting anyone else tell you otherwise. Thanks for being my hero.
Dad (Papa): Thank you for so openly letting me into your life. I remember just a few weeks ago in Moab you were talking about your oldest daughter to someone. I laughed and said your oldest daughter you only have one. You then said that you counted me as one of your daughters. I had always known that but not until that day had I realized how much you meant it. You are an example of a man of faith. Never have I seen somebody so willing to serve. I am so glad that at least some of your goodness and willingness to serve has rubbed off on Jake. You have always been willing to share your toys with everyone. You have never been afraid of what you know and you are always willing to show it. Thanks for being my hero.
Last of all Jake: I know you aren't a dad yet but there are so many moments in my life where I see you helping someone or holding a little one and realize how luck I am to have you and how lucky our children will be to have you as their dad. I couldn't have picked a more amazing man to raise my children, be my help mate, make me laugh everyday, cuddle up next to, fight with, have fun with, and help explore this life. Thank you for being my best friend!
I love you all,
Netter
