It was six years ago today.

It was six years ago today around 3am when 2 police officers came knocking on our door in American Fork, Utah. My sister woke me up saying there are two policemen at the door. Nothing really registered in my brain that there was any problem. I walked up to the door and let the Officers in the house. I remember there was about 2 feet of snow on the ground that morning. The officers asked my name and I told them. Then they told me that your dad passed away last night. I honestly thought that they ment my moms dad passed away because he was in his late 70's at the time. Then they told me no Gary King passed away. In that moment my heart litterally skipped a beat and I lost a breath. It physically hit me of what they really were saying. My dad went to sleep for a short afternoon nap and he never woke up in this mortal world again. I will never forget that moment. More than never forgetting that moment; I will never forget my dads life and all the experiences we shared in this life together. My dad created a good life for myself for which I am forever greatful. My dad was a good man.
