Side by Side

These two have been friends for a long time.




They've walked
hand in hand...



through the sad times...



and the happy.



They've talked together...



wept together...



and even prayed together.



They've dined together...


danced together...



and gone in style together.




They've represented together...





received together...



and weathered
the storms together.


They've made 
trouble together...




slept through movies together...




and just hung out together.





They've loved the same little man...



the same teenage man...



but never the same woMAN!





They've done it all...
TOGETHER
Then late one August night
One was packed
and ready to go.

Moving to Iowa wasn't easy,
neither was the goodbye.
Today the other One
is packed and ready to go.

I'm sure the goodbye
wasn't any easier.



Especially since this time ...
it was not in person.

Now wipe those tears
for we all know,
in about two years
these two will be
standing side by side
once more.



After all, Families are Forever and so are...
Elder T-pang,  
Always remember...
"Hard Work Pays Off"!
You'll be in our every prayer.
Thanks for representin'!
We love you.
-The Hutchins

That was the saddest, happiest blog you have ever written. I'm sitting here bawling!!! I wish Taylor everything he needs to be an awesome missionary. My prayers are with him. These two are some powerful men and I have loved watching them grow up together. You parents deserve an A+ for a job well done!!!!

Good luck, Grandma Beatrice

So Cute Krista! It just goes to show how important it is to surround ourselves with good influences. Something you try to teach and then turns out to be one of your tender mercies.
