father's day!

this is my dad!

gordon leroy klassen, born june 19, 1938!

this is just a small portion of his legacy!  he has 2 daughters, 6 grand children, 6 great grand children, 1 granddaughter -in-law,  and 2 grandson-in-laws! and so many adopted children, grand children, and great granchildren i can not name, but they all call him papa! when i think of how many "opportunities" he has had to share the love of jesus with it makes my heart smile! he is always there, even when we don't want him to be, but when we needed him most!

he taught me so many things in life, the greatest of these was the gift of teaching me that my father in heaven loved me! the love of family and friends! friends he has had for as long as i can remember. jim, jan, ray and polly have always been in my life! the friendship he has with them makes one envious of such a long relationship outside of family. the one thing he taught me that changed my life and my way of thinking was "feelings are neither right or wrong, they just are"!  i love you dad! thank you for always being there  for me! 

this is my son!

 sasha renay moore, born on january 21, 1981.

these are his legacy! caroline elayne moore, and abram crosley moore. i am hoping for one more!

sasha always makes me laugh! he always has, and he got away with way too many things growing up! he is kind, loyal, compassionate and if he becomes your friend, you have a friend forever (unless you screw it up real bad!) 

he is a loving son and husband, and is becoming the father i always hoped he would be! i am living with the moore family now, and i get to see first hand what a good dad he is! loving, caring, mostly attentive (electronic toy addiction can sometimes get in the way), playful, he works hard and takes time to have daddy-daughter dates and special father-son time! i love you son, and i want to thank you for being there for me!

this is my son-in-law

michael "jeremy" campbell born february 15, 1978

this is his legacy, elliott garrison campbell! i hope for more here too!

this is his first fathers day!

jeremy is the son-in-law mothers dream of. he loves misty so much! you can see his face when he looks at her that she is the love of his life! he is a gentle man, that teaches at a local high school. he loves music, a good beer, and the red sox! he adores my daughter and his son! i never thought that they would have kids. they led an active life and pretty set in their ways! enter in on son, and life takes a 180 degree turn! 

he had a rough start, but elliott turned jeremy into a baby talking, noise making man!  he delights in spending time with him, and vise versa! elliott loves his dad! the look on both their faces when playing together proves that! he is a man that is content with his life as a new dad on this, his first father's day!
