Although we love our dads year-round, Father’s Day presents a perfect occasion to post about them on social media. Silly dads, inspiring dads and spiritual dads populated the LDS social media feed this week — here are some of our favorites.
Lindsey Stirling tweeted a Father’s Day drawing of her and her dad early Monday morning, commemorating her father, who died in January 2017 from cancer. Stirling previously lost one of her best friends to lymphoma, the Deseret News reported last year.
“Sometimes when you least expect it, life changes and life hits you,” Stirling said in the article. “This fall, I just had some things that I went through that really reminded me that none of this matters — no money, no amount of fame. What’s important is the people around me.”
My dad passed away early this morning. There is nothing to say that could express my gratitude for this amazing, selfless man. But I love you daddy. I'm the woman I am today because of you.
