| Dallin and his ever present smile!
 19 wonderful years have passed since my 1st son Dallin was born. He has brought so much joy into our llives. One thing that comes to mind of Dallin, is when he was about four years old, he wanted to borrow a hammer and nails from his dad. We asked him why and he said "I want to build a ladder to go and see Heavenly Father, I miss him." It was so sweet. Dallin has always been a giver. He loves to give to anybody in need. He gives a smile, a hug, a gift, a note, he gives time and it's all given freely, he is a very thoughtful person. Dallin has always had a "plan". He knows what he wants from this life and he has never wavered. He has a wonderful testimony. You can see by the way he acts and by the way he treats people that his testimony is sure. Dallin effects everybody he comes in contact with for good. He makes people feel good about themselves. He is very busy this time of his life. He has a very full schedule at school including night classes. He is the elders quarom secretary in his singles branch. He is the baptizer at the Gila Valley, AZ Temple on Saturdays. He is preparing to leave for his mission to Argentina on May 25, 2011. He coaches 15 kids in tennis, and is the assisstant coach at EAC for the women's team. He has very llittle down time, but when he does, he plays with his family and shares his contagious good attitude. His best friends are his brother and sisters and it's a joy for Scott and I to witness. Dallin is a wonderful example to our family, we love him. Happy Birthday Baby boy. |
It's a joy for us to witness, too, Rebecca. Just wait until you have grandchildren like Dallin, and the rest of your kids, for that matter, that bring such happiness and fulfillment into your life. You never know if you were a good parent until you see your own children parenting their children. That's why the joy, and in contrast, the pain, is so great with grandchildren.
