This is a special picture I came across today when I was browsing threw my pictures. Some people may get tiered of hearing me go on and on about how awesome my dad is who I lost to cancer in 2006. But to bad here I go again. My dad coached little league sports his whole life. Let's just say we always had a house full of stinky basketball, baseball, and football boys. This is a trophy the Bingham little league gave to my grandparents the winter after he passed away. I knew my dad made a impact on so many boys, but until I saw this I had no clue how BIG of an impact it was. Bingham little league football had 5 teams win the championship the year my dad passed away and they all dedicated their season to Dennis Powell #10( my dads high school number ). Also all their championship t-shirts had Dennis Powell #10 " Never forgotten" written on the sleeve. My dad had many athletes go on to play collage ball and at his funeral we had so many boys say to us no other coach has left the impact then Dennis did. I am the lucky girl who gets to call this hero my daddy. My dad wasn't a real religious man, he didn't make millions here on this earth, he was an every day man who made a bigger impact by the age of 44 then most make in a life time. I don't care what your race, religion, or social status is their are just good people on this earth with good hearts and thats what my dad was a good person with a good heart. Now it's time for us here on earth to pay it forward, step back and find your way to make an impact on this earth.
For our anniversary we went to the Tim McGraw concert. It was just what I needed right now! It felt so good for Derek and I to just get out of the house, get our minds off things, and just have a good time. Tim McGraw always puts such an amazing show on! I have had the chance to hear him sing " Live like you are dying " live 4 times now and it gets to me every time for this is the song my dad lived by his last 2 years on this earth. I am so lucky to have a husband who always finds a way to make everything ok no matter how hard our life is at the time. Thank you for an amazing night Derek.
