Tristan had some friends staying over; I never sit and ate with my children’s company so they could visit. Dawson was at the head of the table and I can’t remember who was at the end. The next thing I knew I was sitting at the table too and talking 90 mph with this young man, Bingham, because I couldn’t remember all if the first names. I asked who he was related to on the Bingham side and that I was related to some Bingham's.too. I said, to Dawson, “you know that somehow I’ve got to drum us up as being related because you’re just so much fun and we’ve got to keep you”. I said, “here you came to have a good time with the young guys and you got stuck with an old lady”; he did one of his Dawson laughs. I promise you, that when Dawson started laughing, you didn’t have a choice but to be laughing just as hard if not more. He said, that he had enjoyed talking to me, thanked me for having him, also for the food, just so polite. I said, you’re welcome back anytime and I promise the next time I’ll not be a nuisance, he did another Dawson laugh, as you know there’s not another like it. Dawson was real and the cutest facial expressions ever. Well since we both were big talkers, lol! I said oh do you play a guitar and when Tristan said “Dawson if you say yes, mom will have you playing for hours” he just laughed so I think he took that advice lol. . We talked about his Uncle Ricky and how he was a good musician, how his group came to my church ,at Hopewell in Corbin, back in the day when Amy was still a kid. Even my hubby made a comment about Dawson, he said that he’d never seen me have so much fun with the boy’s friends.; I told David that I could hang out with this kids all of the time, just so sweetest, and had the cutest actions ever, so much fun. Then Dawson got stuck with David, joking, but they had a nice chat too, I heard them talking about ballgames,since David was watching one, David mentioned how that he knew most of his mother’s family (might of mentioned a store, not sure) and that he knew his grandpa Bingham too, I enjoyed listening to them while I was doing a little kitchen cleaning up. Finally, lol, the boys got to be boys, while David and I watched some old folks TV and went to bed much earlier.
If you saw Dawson once, it’s like that he knew you all of his life. He had a friend Austin that stayed here too, such a good guy. I couldn’t remember all of their names. So when i would mention them to Tristan, I would use names that I could relate to, I calked Dawson, Bingham for awhile, and Austin the pretty lblond haired boy, because that’s all I saw going down the stairs that morning was blond hair lol since he had to work that day. I fixed breakfast for Dawson and some of the others and that was so pleasant morning too. I feel so blessed to have known Dawson because to know him is to love him. I love you Dawson and thank you for the wonderful visits and for making us so happy.
