My heart is beating so hard.
I feel as if my chest might burst wide open.
It was just shy of 18 years ago
I laid in a hospital bed awaiting the arrival of our
BABY BOY
Just one day earlier the doctor had told me
he would start me in four days
if I hadn't gone into labor on my own by then.
I quickly explained to him how that wouldn't work because the
GRANTSVILLE COWBOYS
played football in 4 days in San Juan and we had to be there.
He looked at me in dis-belief
and said he'd see me on Monday.
and said he'd see me on Monday.
I looked back at him and smiled.
Then Jeff and I drove to the
store, purchased some
castor oil
and took things into
our own hands.
Less than 12 hours later
Dillon "Hummer" Hutchins
said hello to the world!
And just 4 days after that, the
GHS Football Team
met their BIGGEST FAN for the first time.
That's right ... Dillon attended his first
Grantsville High School Football game
when he was just FOUR DAYS old.
Since that day,
I don't know if there has been anyone more true to
COWBOY FOOTBALL
From the time he was so very little he always felt
he belonged to THE TEAM
(He's the little one in the corner.)
And since that day,
he has never missed a game!
He was there when he was
ONE.
He was there when he was
TWO.
He was there when he was
THREE.
He was there when he was
FOUR.
He was always
in uniform
in uniform
and always looking like, well,
HUMMER!!
His whole life has been about
COWBOY FOOTBALL!!
Finally when he was EIGHT
he got a
COWBOY UNIFORM
of his very
OWN!!!
He wore it side by side with
these guys...
Today I woke up to realize
the clock has been ticking
faster than I'd hoped...
Tonight he will stand side by side with
those boys once more
It's SENIOR NIGHT
My heart will most likely pound harder than it is right now.
I will pray that it won't stop beating
for I feel like it's breaking open.
Because even though
THIS is
Hummer's reality.
In my heart,
he still looks
like THIS.
Happy Senior Night
to one of Grantsville High School's
TRUEST!
Happy Senior Night to our
BABY BOY!!

Such a sweet post. It's amazing how fast time goes by, when you're an "adult". Makes you really want to jump ship and stop time in it's tracks.
Good luck to you and Hummer tonight at the game. It will be bitter sweet that is for sure.
I remember those days. Seems like time just goes by so fast. Enjoy the rest of the year all you can. He's a great kid! Wish I were going to be there tonight to watch him and Dalin, but I'll be cheering no matter what!!!! Love you!
Time really has gone by too quickly! What a great kid our Dillon is! These milestones are hard on Moms! He'll have many more though, & he's one lucky kid to have such supportive parents!
