Dylan's Birthday!

Twelve years ago today we were truly BLESSED with the birth of our WONDERFUL son, Dylan Joseph Prater. He joined us at 2:10 a.m., weighing 7lbs 9 1/4oz and was 21inches long. He was so small and pink, with blond hair and beautiful blue eyes, and the sweetest smile ever!

DEAR DYLAN,

You looked at us and gave us a smile that was so divine,
Even in the darkness, your bright smile would shine.
Today when we look at you, the smile is still the same,
So are the lovely set of eyes, from heaven that came.
But even more than your physical beauty is your loving heart.

It's easy to see that your birth is part of God's master plan,
He is using you for a GREAT purpose.
Happy Birthday to our darling son.

We Always Love You,
Mommy & Daddy
