Dallas Is Moving On

Twenty three years ago Dallas made his entrance onto our family stage.  With five other children to compete with, he had to fight his own way through the crazy atmosphere that was our home.  That kind of became a theme for his life.  As he grew, he was intent on following his own path and direction.  He wanted to open each and every door that appeared along the way just to see what might be there.   Mom and Dad had to watch with terror, tears, and joy as he navigated the journey.  It has been quite a ride with this kid!



 

This weekend, a new passage begins for him.  Kelli has become the love of his life.  He could not have asked for anyone who is better matched to his spirit and soul.  She is a blessing in his life, and ours.  In reflection, Michele and I are watching one more sunset in our life.  For Dallas and Kelli, a new sunrise is just peaking over the horizon where adventures and life's experiences will fill them for decades to come.

 

So our doorstep will be a little quieter, and the days ahead a bit more reflective.  Memories will slowly fade, and new experiences will soon  replace them in our life.  So Dallas, don't forget to drop by from time to time.  We are slowly getting older, and need that energy, excitement, and adventure you carry with you.  Just remember, were not as quick and agile as we used to be.

 

It's kind of amazing when you think your life is in some far off place, and unexpectedly something comes along to turn it completely around, and before you know it, you find yourself.  It's tough to sum up a life in 4 minutes, but this video kind of does that in a little way for us.
