In My Life.

My dad was born and raised near Liverpool where The Beatles are from. They were a little bit older than him, but I'm convinced that if he was the same age he would've been a Beatle too.

Anyway, he was lucky enough to be around The Beatles right from the start. He would go to The Cavern and watch them perform before they were even big.

Naturally, The Beatles are in my blood. Growing up we would jam out to The Beatles on every road trip and some of my favorite memories are of my dad playing and singing Beatles songs for us.

When I got engaged to Landon, I knew I wanted my dad to sing at our wedding reception. I asked him months in advance, but he wasn't sure. I think he was just feeling nervous about it.

A few days before the wedding, I found out my dad was going to sing for me. I am crying just typing about it because it meant SO much to me. He sang my favorite Beatles song--In My Life and other than the actual sealing, it was the most special moment of the day. We didn't have a videographer at our wedding and now I wish I would've forked over thousands of dollars because we hardly have any video from our wedding. So we didn't get any video of my dad singing :(

Last night my brother posted a video on Facebook of my dad singing "In My Life" and tears immediately came streaming down my face. I just love my dad so much and watching him sing and play my favorite Beatles song brings SO many emotions and memories. So many happy memories.

My dad is truly amazing and I feel like we have a special bond because I was born on his birthday. I've just always been such a daddy's girl! I look up to him for SO many reasons. He has such a strong testimony and love for Heavenly Father. He loves my mom passionately and deeply. He knows everything about everything. He is funny and sarcastic. He is caring and sensitive. He is talented. He is selfless. He is an amazing husband and father. And really, he should've been a Beatle! ;)

Anyway, I am SO happy that my brother recorded him singing because now I can watch it whenever I want. When we visited Utah last month I asked my dad to sing and play for me and I took pictures but I don't know why I didn't think to take a video. Joey, you're a genius! :)

Isn't he incredible? I love you so much daddy!
