Sorry for any hurt I've caused you I did some research and I know that you're right about Trump is bad for us and we don't need him or his non morals and his lying I was never for him I did find out that Bidon is not going to take away our guns that was a lie that ether Trump made or the press made! 9-3-20 my response: ❤️ you didn't hurt my feelings ❤️ I hope I didn't hurt your feelings while I was trying to explain ❤️ it takes time to research, but it's beneficial. Making an educated choice is the best decision. Neither candidate is perfect, but I strongly believe in one over the other. I hope you continue to research and vote for whom ever you see is fitting for you, your family, your community and your nation. I love you muchly! Have a great morning ❤️

Today is a nice SunnyDay it is now 48 degrees and Sammy's looking to go out and play so I'll talk to you later have a great time, I love you so much I want the best for you and your family love you guys bye ( my message was:Sunday was a pretty lazy and slow day because we got in so late. Our 9 hour drive was actually nearly 15 hours because traffic was so bad. Do Sunday we saw Grandma and took pictures on her dock at the harbor and went grocery shopping.
Monday we drive to Hollywood to see the walk of fame, which I shared the pictures with you.
Today the kids are doing school work, then we will go to the beach that Eric proposed to me.)
I stopped playing with her then she would take her ball over and drop her ball down the stairs and wait a few seconds then go down the stairs get the ball and drop it at my feet she’s so funny just enjoying our time with her
This is what was shared at the Temple, for our prayer meeting. This was two paragraphs, October 2020 General conference womans session: Embrace the Future with Faith... Pres. Nelson. Of course, our ultimate security comes as we yoke ourselves to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ! Life without God is a life filled with fear. Life with God is a life filled with peace. This is because spiritual blessings come to the faithful. Receiving personal revelation is one of the greatest of those blessings.
The Lord has promised that if we will ask, we may receive “revelation upon revelation.” I promise that as you increase your capacity to receive revelation, the Lord will bless you with increased direction for your life and with boundless gifts of the Spirit.
Thursday, April 8, 2021: Just wondering how our little girl is this morning? I was wondering if I could come and hang out with you today? Friday, April 9, 2021: Do you have a picture Chloe and her stitches
*This was the last text from my dad. I chose not to respond with pictures bc my pride didn't want Sandra to have them and share them saying who knows what.
My last text to my dad was 3-5-2021
Grandpa.
The man.
The myth.
The legend.
This is the end of my conversations with my dad from 2018 to 2021. If only we would have the conversations we had on the phone. However, the last several months of his life want peachy and neither were all our conversations on the phone. They were filled with sadness and deep, big feels. Lots of comments on the gospel, the afterlife, spirituality, and God's love. We also got to speak, discover, clear the air and educate on life experiences over the years. Including my relationship with Aaron, I got a father's love and healing that I didn't know was needed to further the atonement, and we spoke of the divorce, his marriage with my mom prior to their separation, his thoughts, his feelings, why hi did things and didn't do things, why he couldn't go back to my mom after being separation even though we, she included, asked him to come home. We both were enlightened and uplifted. I truly cherish the father-daughter relationship I have with him. I'm eternally grateful for the moment, on one particular day, the spirit came to me and said very bluntly and straightforward to "find out for myself and to stop my behavior" when I often prayed and pondered about my father and the things my mom said about him. I wanted to know if they were true when it didn't make sense knowing who my father was prior to all this drama and mess.
