Dallin's Obituary

Mike took Maysen and Preston skiing today. It was not crowded at all. Lots different than last time! Mike said they had a great time. I mostly worked on Jorja's dress today. Hope it turns out!

Dallin's obituary is up now. It is heart breaking. "Pain and grief this intense and dark can only be a reflection of the amazing love and light Dallin brought into our lives for nearly 18 years." He had so many accomplishments. Dallin was so smart. 35 on the act his first try, just like Jacob. He was so creative. I remember that about him. It is so sad that his parents aren't going to be able to watch him become an adult and see what he would have been able to accomplish. I can't even imagine. Dallin's parents wrote to him at the end of his obituary. I don't think I have ever seen that before, but I loved it. This is what they wrote...

"Lastly, to our son Dallin, we thank you for blessing our lives for the time you were here. Your broad amazing smile. Your infectious laugh. Your exclamations of "I did a thing" whenever you finished your most recent amazing creation. Your treats. Your mentoring of your younger siblings and cousins. Your kind, generous heart. Your wit. Your intelligence. Watching movies with you. Your desire to organize fun. The late-night talks about life. We will see you again, but until then, we will miss you dearly."
