Once in a while someone special walks into your life
and really makes a difference.
They take the time to show you in so many ways that you matter.
They see and hear the worst in you, but don't walk away,
in fact they care more about you.
Their heart breaks with yours,
their tears fall with yours,
their laughter is shared with yours....
Once in a while a special friend has to go their separate way.
Every time you see a certain gesture
hear a certain laugh or phrase, or return to certain place,
it reminds you of them.
You treasure the time you had with the,m
and you thank God that someone touched your heart so deeply.
You remember their words, their looks, their expressions,
you remember how much of themselves they gave
not just to you, but to all.
You remember their strength that amazed you,
their courage that impressed you, their grace that inspired you
and the love that touched you!
Grandma Darling closed her eyes in peaceful slumber
and awakened with loved ones!
We love you sweet angel!







Now these pictures were the laugh of the day. Little Sambo came around the corner with about 15 guns, swords, sabers and shields ready for combat! But what made it picture perfect was the saying on his shirt..."this is what trouble looks like"
after the party I took the kids over to the school to monkey around...After all....Spring is HERE!

Yup...tar pit castles was what Emma was trying to build!
A special thanks to all of our freinds and family who came to help celebrate this very special day for Dallin.
