In October 2007, my step-sister Kara hosted a baby shower for me.  Being that it was in Jacksonville, Aunt Teresa, Justin, Austin and baby Jaycie were able to make it.  You could see in his eyes he was a proud daddy.  At the shower he told me about the day him and Stacey decided to wash all Jaycie's clothes before she was born.  They took everything off the hangers and threw it in the washing machine.  When everything came out of the dryer, he couldn't remember what pieces went together to make outfits!  I definately  took that advice to heart when I washed Haley's clothes. 

Justin I love you and miss you very much! Sorry I couldn't make it tonight, but there will be a candle burning for you in Brookland, Arkansas!

I remember no-bake cookies when you would babysit even late at night.

When Justin lost his first tooth biting on a tupperware sippy cup, I had to convince him he would get another tooth before I could finish pulling it.  I had always told him if he didn't brush his teeth would fall out and he was quite sure it was happening.  But he was excited the next morning when the toothfairy really did leave money.  In fact, he was ready to pull all of his teeth.  Didn't take Justin long to figure out how to scam the toothfairy.  He would leave a note saying his mother wanted to keep the tooth, then he would proceed to take the tooth to his grandmother's house and his Dad's house for yet another visit from the toothfairy.

Justin,

I will alway remember the time that I bought you a fire truck that you could pedal around the house. I lettered it up just like the one that I was assigned to at the J'boro Fire Department. We kept it in the den on Candlewood, you would come over and play fireman... I think the funniest thing I remember about all your fireman stuff was the helmet that you wore around the house, the strap that was suppose to tighten on your head always ended up under your nose like a chin strap...

Justin,

I remember when you were at Fort Knox. Your Mom and I flew up to Louisville KY to see you graduate from Basic Training. I was so proud of you, heck I could tell you were proud of yourself ! I remember how you lined up at the door of the Mess Hall with your ID in your left hand so that the guy could see it as you marched in to eat. I also remember kidding you about sitting at the front table, you were afraid I would sit down at the officers table and get you in trouble. All the time I knew what I was doing but you were so scared I would sit down with the brass !!

Justin,  We remember when you were  a young kiddo and would stay at our house  You would pretend to be a D.J. on the radio.  Dave would call you Justininio Hall, and you got a big kick out of it. You also had a keen interest in Dave's scuba diving gear and loved putting on the equipment and breathing off the tank!  You always had so much energy and were interested in so many things.  Dave would take you on outings, so you would have special guy time with out all the "babies around".  You were so excited by the mall!  Your are missed!

Justin-

I remember a time when you were in Illinois.  You were the food manager and one of the meals called for garlic and sweet potatoes.  The problem was we didn't have any sweet potatoes, and all the garlic had been used in another meal.  You went to Bridge in a panic and asked her what to do.  She said, "You already know what to do...go to your Heavenly Father and ask him to send it in."  And you left and went to pray and ask Him.  30 minutes later a lady showed up with a big box of nothing but fresh sweet potatoes and fresh garlic.  She dropped it off and left.  None of us had ever seen her before, and to this day we do not know who she was.  Thank you for praying ... you faith, and ours was built up that day!
