RICHARD CREIGHTON GIBERSON
Dad begins his life story by writing about three mothers, all who performed a noble and divine role. One gave birth to him, another raised him to be a good boy, and the third was an example of a righteous Latter-day Saint mother.
But for a boy who had a myriad of potential fathers (biological, adopted, and others who came in and out of his mother's life), he had no dad. Mom said he worried that he wouldn't know how to be one himself. Ready or not, he got the chance with eight children of his own.
The Family: A Proclamation To the World states: "Successful . . . families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and *wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families."
Recently Sister Linda Reeves of the General Relief Society Presidency said: "The only things that really need to be accomplished in the home are daily scripture study and prayer and weekly family home evening.”
And in 2nd Nephi 25:26 we read: "We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ . . . that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
In all the ways that matter, the answer to Dad's concern is a resounding YES!
Love you, Dad! Thank you for EVERYTHING!
