DWIGHT WAS THE PROUD DAD TO CRYSTAL JOY AND THOMAS GERALD. I RECALL THE DAY BOTH OF THEM WERE BORN SO VERY CLEAR. I AM WRITING THIS SO HIS CHILDREN WILL ALWAYS KNOW THEIR DAD LOVED THEM MORE THEN ANYTHING ELSE IN THIS WORLD.
ON THE DAY CRYSTAL WAS BORN DWIGHT CAME RUNNING IN THE HOUSE YELLING FOR GRANDMA THAT THEY HAD TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. CRYSTAL WAS BORN AT HOME IN AND BROUGHT TO THE CITIES TO THE HOSPITAL. DWIGHT AND GRANDMA WENT RIGHT AWAY TO SEE CRYSTAL. WHEN THEY RETURNED HOM HIS FACE WA GLOWING AND COULDN'T STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS NEW LITTLE GIRL. AS THE YEARS WENT BY CRYSTAL WRAPPED HER DADDY AROUND HER FINGER TIGHTER AND TIGHTER EVERY DAY. I REMEMBER ONE CHRISTMAS CRYSTAL WANTED A PRINCESS JASMINE TENT TO PLAY IN. WELL SHE GOT IT OF COURSE, AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE EVERYONE PLAY IN THAT TENT WITH HER. DWIGHT PUT UP A FIGHT ABOUT PLAYING IN THE TENT BUT NEVER HAD A DOUBT THAT HE WAS GOING TO DO. HIS LITTLE PRINCESS WANTED HIM TO PLAY IN IT AND HE WAS GOING TO DO WHATEVER SHE WANTED. WHEN LION KING CAME OUT YOU CAN BET DWIGHT GOT HER THAT TOO! YEAH WE WATCHED IT 100+ TIMES AND IT NEVER GOT OLD HER CALLING DWIGHT PUMBA AND HIM CALLING HER TAMONE. ON THE DAY CRYSTAL WAS BAPTISED DWIGHT WAS SILENT THE WHOLE DRIVE TO HER CHURCH AND SAID VERY LITTLE THE WHOLE DAY BUT HIS SMILE AND GLOW SPOKE ALL HIS WORDS FOR HIM. ANOTHER MEMORY IS CRYSTALS FIRST CHOIR CONCERT, HE WAS EXCITED. EQUIPPED WITH A CAMCORDER AND 3 BATTERIES FOR IT ALONG WITH A FEW TAPES HE SET OUT FOR HER SCHOOL. HE WENT UP IN THE UPPER SEATING AREA AND SET UP THE CAMCORDER. HE STAYED UP THERE PACING AROUND UNTILL CRYSTAL CAME OUT TO SING. HE ZOOMED IN ON HER DURING HER SOLO AND NEVER TOOK THE CAMCORDER OFF OF HER. HE WOULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR HIS LITTLE MONKEY MOUSE!
THE DAY THOMAS WAS BORN WAS VERY SIMMILAR BUT THIS TIME HE WAS SHOUTING ABOUT HIS BOY BEFORE EVEN LEAVING THE HOUSE. EVEN THOUGH HE SPENT VERY LITTLE TIME WITH TOMMY HE NEVER LET HIS THOUGHTS OF HIM STRAY VERY FAR AWAY. EVERY YEAR FOR CHRISTMAS AND HIS BIRTHDAY DWIGHT WOULD GO OUT AND BUY THE PRESANTS AND WRAP THEM UP PUTTING THEM INTO A PILE LEAVING THEM SO THE DAY TOMMY CAME TO VISIT HE WOULD SEE THAT EVERY BIRTHDAY AND EVERY CHRISTMAS HIS DAD WAS THINKING OF HIM.I KNOW A FEW MCDONALDS VISITS COULD NEVER HAVE SHOWN IT TO HIM BUT AFTER THOSE VISITS DWIGHT WOULD GLOW FOR WEEKS AOUT HIS VISIT WITH HIS LITTLE BOY. I KNOW THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO PROUD OF HIS LITTLE ATHLETE YOU HAVE BECOME TOMMY.
