It is so hard to watch the man that you have come to look up to and always thought that he would be able to help you with everything that came your way will not always be able to help.
My dad was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerois a couple of years back and he had been doing so well until the last couple of years. Thankfully the whole time he was in a Bishopric and was the Bishop he didn't have any of the symptoms.
I never really noticed that he was getting worse until last year. When we went to Yellowstone it really was hard for him to walk around much and my mom and sister and I had to drive sometimes. But it really hit me when I dislocated my knee while hiking and knew that my dad would of been there in a heart beat but he couldn't hike to me. When I finally got of the mountain I started crying all over again when he met me at the bottom.
It sure has made my mom and I so emotional lately just wondering what he can and can't do. My dad is the greatest dad that anyone could ask for. He really is so caring and willing to help people and I think it is really bringing him down that he can't do what he enjoys anymore.
He loved to go hiking and to go play basketball with us kids. Now he can't really do that. One of Nate's converts was staying with us for a while and he wanted my dad to hike to Timp cave with him and I had to tell him that he can't do that anymore.
I truly was blessed as a child to be able to have him go hiking, sledding, skiing and be able to play basketball with us kids. I have sure learned to treasure the times that my dad could do that with us.
