I recall many times Dale and I would be riding around listening to a metal band and he would stop and restart a single part of a song just to hear the awesomeness of that moment. Like the drum intro in The Eleventh Hour by August Burns Red. Or the breakdown of Counselor by In Fear and Faith. But one stood out to me the most of all time, so much that I got it tattooed to my chest. The breakdown of On Wings Of Integrity by My Children My bride. We would wait after those words "STAND AS ONE!"... the slight pause and then "WE WILL SOAR!" and the breakdown where Dale and I would wave or arms like a goofy looking bird flying away. This is also the song Dale and I said would be our cool slow motion walk up song, we litteraly tried it one day at PJC but its not near as cool when you have to turn around and go turn your truck off.
i will never forget the time where i had to take tanner and dale back to paris from sulphur springs when dale's tire had a huge hole in it. i remember tanner tellin dale to chew up some gum and put super glue on it to fix the hole. being the nice person i was i took dale and tanner to the dorms and broke my cerfew by 2 hours. we got all the way to the 4 way junction right out of sulphur springs and dale was like "heather turn around i forgot my keys in my car!" i was so mad at him but what can ya do? he needed his keys. so we finally got his keys and on our way down 19 then he turned to me and was like "heather, i need a torch. . ." cassidy being the smart one like she is popped off "dale we are not turning around again!" and then he smarted off "cassidy shut up you are a child so therefore your opinion does not matter!" while poking her in the eye. i was laughing so hard at the both of them that night.
dale i miss the way that you could turn my bad day around with just riding around listening to loud music and shooting pool. the rail isnt the same without you there. alley, john, and amy miss you coming up there. i cant wait to see you agian dale. save me a spot in heaven with some taco bell. 27's, and a set of drumsticks. make sure you go see mama, she really needs to hear from you again. its hard seeing her like this dale but just know that we all still love you with all our hearts. btw dont tear up the nice things that we gave you out there, i had to pick up the heart that mama gave you for valentines day. i know its not pink but still dale come on lol :) miss and love you daleskie!!!
Haha, Dale .. i remember being in Heather's car and listening to paramore with yall and you were headbanging so hard that it was a blurr... it freaked me out but finally you stopped and got her drumsticks out of her back seat and started drumming on the airbag part of the car... you were all over the place... lol.. there was always that one part that you could not get down... almost at the ending of the song.. and everytime you would mess up you'd say... start that s*** over. and of course... we do what Dale tells us to... I was so mad.. i swear we played that song from greenville to paris.. Finally i said... Dale ... We are NOT playing this again ... and of course.. you turned around and poked me in the eyes.. (laughingly) and then said quit crying... after about 10 minutes of more paramore.. i finally said... Dale.. my eyes hurt... and i got the .. i dont give a whoohaw tuesday line. its was hilarious. I miss you and your creativity to do anything.. If you put your mind to it... you did it...... no matter what , love you . (:
