My First Born Son
Dustin Cody Parker

September 29.1985 to 10-30-2006

I'll never forget wishing for you every time I walked near a wishing well throwing change in. I was 18 years old when you were born. You grounded me and gave me purpose which was the best gift God could've provided for me.

My Mother, Grandma Alice was so happy, as you were her first Grandson and first grandchild. She would make sure I had all I wanted to eat and clothes I needed as you grew inside me.

Your Doctor was Dr. Aulds here in Huntsville, Alabama. He was a great doctor with a huge amount of compassion.

Your Pediatrician was Dr. Sherrill and he is the best here in Huntsville, He would have us meet him in middle of night at his office just to calm your fever and get your asthma back ok for us to return home.

My Mother and her husband Jimmy walked every step with me, they would make me walk everyday to ease my labor.

I gained over 60 pounds as I was really enjoying all the good food My Mother was making for us.

On September 29.1985, My Mother and I had already made a plan of action just in case we had to rush to hospital. My Mother being the strong, in charge one, said we'd follow her lead. Which was fine with me because I believed in my Mother, she had already had three children.

We had just awoke and she'd made me this huge bowl of cereal, I was really getting into eating it and felt like I need to go to restroom, I get up to go and the WATER wouldn't stop! It felt like a continuing pee. I ran and told my Mother and she started yelling and jumping up and down and going into hysterics. Made me scared because she was suppose to be strong one.

She finally calmed down enough to call Dr. Aulds and he told her load me up and come on to Huntsville Hospital, So, Here Mother, Jimmy and Me go.

We get there and Mother tells them I want all natural childbirth with no medicine or epidural, I agreed as I don't know what I was thinking, except after the pains started I prayed to the good lord above I'd never have sex again.

We were in labor 16 hours, it was the older time where they give you enema and you lose all your modesty, My Mother said.

My Mother was my coach, and she had all the nurses gear on and tears just rolled down her beautiful face. Dustin was her's just as much as mine. He weighed in at 6lbs.10oz. 19inches

I didn't know until afterwards My Grandmother "Lucy" My Mothers Mom was there, Sandra my BFF, and Jimmy, My Mothers Husband. where all in waiting room.

Dustin was a great child, there isn't anywords that could express the way I feel about him. I do feel however, He's now with My Mother and Father In Heaven and watching down on me from the Heavens.
He Lived to be 21 Years old 1Month and 1 Day.
He gave to the World and is Loved by Many.
May He Rest In Peace.
