Psalms 42:1-5 As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my meat day and night, while they continually say unto me, Where is thy God? When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

Romans 8:15-18 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

What amazing words of comfort. Praying!
Isaiah 40:28-31 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

We have hope because of a babe born in Bethlehem. Praying!
Luke 2:1-14 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

3. There at my Savior's side
Heav'n is my home;
I shall be glorified,
Heav'n is my home;
There are the good and blest,
Those I love most and best;
And there I, too, shall rest,
Heav'n is my home.

4. Therefore I murmur not,
Heav'n is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heav'n is my home;
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand.
Heav'n is my fatherland,
Heav'n is my home.

It's been a while since I have visited your page. I've been thinking about what tomorrow holds. I miss you dearly, Dakota. I couldn't help but shed tears as I reread what your mother's last post said. You are and will forever be my hero. I wish we could still joke around about how much better I thought Texas was than Arkansas and how you totally disagreed with me. I miss those days and would do anything to get to see and hug you again. But as I wish for that, I know what the future holds that day as I enter eternity. I can't wait to see your smiling face again as we praise our Savior, Christ Jesus together.

Psalms 40:1-4a I waited patiently for the LORD; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the LORD. Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust...

A Thanksgiving Poem

Dear Father who art in Heaven...
Please join our family on this Thanksgiving day
And bless each one as we sit down to pray
As we remember those who have joined You above
So dearly missed and deeply loved.

Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving day
Bless us with memories of those faraway...
Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieve
And help us reach out to others who are bereaved.

We give thanks to You on this Thanksgiving day....
For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.
For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...
And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.

As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving day...
And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....
May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...
And may we feel their presence along with Yours tonight.

May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving day
Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way...
Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above..
For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above...
Amen

Dear Mr. Hallmark, Sir

I am writing to you from heaven,
And though it must appear
A rather strange idea,
I see everything from here.

I just popped in to visit
Your store to find a card -
A card of love for my mom,
As this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake, I thought,
Every card so filled with worth,
Except I could not find one card
From a child whose not on earth.

She is still my mother, too,
No matter where I reside.
I had to leave, she understands,
But, oh, the tears she's cried.

I thought that as I wrote you,
You would come to know
That though I am no longer there,
I still love my mother so.

I visit with her in her dreams,
And she talks with me all the time,
She wonders if that's really me,
Would you let her know I'm fine?

She's planted many flowers,
Where my living memory grows,
She carries me with her everywhere,
No matter where she goes.

She does so many loving things,
So none will ever forget,
That I once lived and loved on earth,
Now my love she needs to get.

Oh, Mr. Hallmark, sir,
Though I no longer live on earth,
I must find a way to remind her
Of her loving, wondrous worth.

She needs to somehow receive,
My message loud and clear,
The same as other mothers will,
From children who are still there.

Thank you, Mr. Hallmark, sir,
I know you'll do your best.
For you are the one I count upon,
So to you I'll leave the rest.

Please find that way to let her know
No space or time or sea,
Will ever change the loving truth,
That my Mom she'll always be.

I am so thankful that we can grieve with HOPE. YOu are on my heart today on this painful anniversary. We have hope in standing at the feet of our Savior with those we love once again, and we still miss them so much here on this earth. Wish I could hug you close, today. Know that you are in my heart.

So difficult to not re-live the last days with you, Dakota. From your 15th bday on , I knew in my heart I was about to lose you. I had to entrust you to the arms of God who was the only one who could take your constant pain away. I'm so thankful the pain is no more because I hated to see you have to endure it hour by hour. You did it with magnificent courage, grace, and dignity. You AMAZED me Dakota. I fight so hard to be like YOU, in Christ's image, but I fall so short. My heart bleeds for you, my beloved son!

Sharon, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us!! You say it all in such a beautiful way!! I'm so thankful I was able to meet you and share in the love you have for Dakota!! His reflection in your life is breath taking to say the least!! It's amazing to see how God can transform a tragic event and reveal to us in our hearts what a wonderful, beautiful, and unimaginable Kingdom He is building!! The journey to that wonderful HOME is filled with love & memories, but also trials & tribulations, so my heart and soul thanks you for encouraging me "To Keep the Faith"!! Much love and hugs are sent your way!!

Just read your post again from the other day and it brings tears to my eyes. I admire your strength as a mother so much. When Dakota passed, I had not yet become a mother and I dont think I could completely understand what a devastating loss you could endure. Now as a mother to Landon and Aiden, and another precious angel I will meet one day in heaven, I know my heart aches for you any day that I think of your loss. Special dates must be even harder and require more strength to get through...so know that you are always in my prayers. Yesterday, today and tomorrow...and always. Keep the Faith...
Love,
Heather

Dear Sharon,
I often sit and do the "what if" scenarios; the possibilities if things had been different. And yet, I see so much that is good about the last 5 years. As much as my heart still aches at times for my own loss, I realize that our loved ones received a WONDERFUL gift in being able to spend time with our Lord. I treasure the hugs from my kids much more that I did before the lessons of grief. I hear "I apprecite you, Mom" from my kids as a result of the lessons they have been forced to learn. So, next week, my my own red-head turns 20, I will hug her ever tightly, say a prayer for you and give thanks for knowing Dakota.

Know that the Lord is always with you, wrapping His loving arms around you and holding on tight! Saying extra prayers knowing how hard this day is. Sounds like you're doing great...as great as you can. And oh yes, those eyes!
Psalms 18:2-6 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

I often catch myself wondering about who you would be today, much like your amazing mother. I wonder if you would be here in Fayetteville with me celebrating your last days as a teenager? I think about you all the time and just yesterday I was sharing your story with some of my sorority sisters. Your faith is my inspiration! I love you so much and I miss you terribly.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Sharon,

How am I? Probably the same as you - it just depends. A moment or thought will take my breath away and I have to muffle the cry of anguish; and the rest of the time, as my eyes are on the eternal, I am forever grateful for God who loved us enough to give us His Son. I feel like the Lord is leading me away from updating on caringbridge. Dinah's last journal said it all - she was born, she died, BUT she accepted Jesus as her Savior - what else is there?

Now, how are YOU? And your family? (George just walked in and asked who I was "talking" to. I said the "red-headed" family from MDAnderson. Now I'm crying...)

So I will go have my quiet time and pray for all of us moms - because I know I need it...

God's continued grace and love be yours -

I know how difficult Mother's Day is for those whose child is in Heaven. This poem has been a blessing for me as I hope it will be for you

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.
You can close your eyes & pray that he'll come back,
Or you can open your eyes & see all that he's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see him,
Or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow & live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember him only that he is gone,
Or you can cherish his memory & let it live on.
You can cry & close your mind, be empty & turn your back,
Or you can do what he'd want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

God's Lent Child
I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine, God said,
For you to love him while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead.
It may be six or seven years, or forty-two or three;
But will you, till I call him back, take good care of him for me?
He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,
You'll have the lovely memories as a solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return;
But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.
I've searched the whole world over, for teachers kind and true;
And from the throngs that crowd life's lane I have chosen you...
Now will you give him all your love? Nor think the labor pain?
Nor hate me should the angels call, to take this child back again?
To which the parents did reply...
Dear Lord, Thy will be done.
For all the joys thy child will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness,
We'll love him while we may...
for all the love this child will bring,
forever grateful we will stay.
But should the Angels call for him,
much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.

I thank God for each of you who took the time to sign Dakota's guestbook. When I see his friends still thinking of him, it makes me smile and feel Dakota's presence. Now it's your turn....the torch has been passed, be bold in your faith and take a firm grip and make a difference in someone's life....Be that shining light in a dark world. Ask God to give you opportunity each day at college....Allow God to use you each day to be a friend to someone who needs one, to encourage the discouraged, to strengthen the weak, and to love the unloved. I certainly know each of you have the potential to make an everlasting impression on someone who needs Jesus! Start where you are, start today.

And to my friends who remembered us today, I thank you. God has strengthened me through you!

What a special thing to be able to see Dakota and to hear him! It was so great seeing you, too! This is such a special update. Dakota doesn't even remember what he went through those last days. And it's amazing to see how the Lord's turned around the worst thing that's ever happened to your family into such a blessing for so many other families.
Praying!
Hebrews 4:14-16 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Dear Father who art in Heaven...
Please join our family on this Thanksgiving day
And bless each one as we sit down to pray
As we remember those who have joined You above
So dearly missed and deeply loved.

Please provide us strength on this Thanksgiving day
Bless us with memories of those faraway...
Please grant patience to family and friends as we grieve
And help us reach out to others who are bereaved.

We give thanks to You on this Thanksgiving day....
For Your presence in our lives each and everyday.
For Your comfort, guidance, and never ending love...
And for taking care of our loved ones...in Heaven above.

As we light this candle on this Thanksgiving day...
And it glows in memory of those in Heaven today....
May their lights always shine down on us and give us light...
And may we feel their presence along with Yours tonight.

May the peace and tranquility of this Thanksgiving day
Be an everlasting light within each of us along the way...
Lets bow our heads and give our Thanks to God above..
For our blessings, whether on earth or in Heaven above...
Amen

Oh Sharon, I have such a special place in my heart for you and your family...and especially for Dakota. I stop by and look at his picture and my heart just aches.
Thanks for sharing all those hints in surviving the holidays. They really apply to all who've lost loved ones. They are so very hard to get through for so very many. I especially miss my Dad, my mother-in-law and my son. He didn't live long enough for me to get to hold him, or for him to have a favorite food...but I take comfort in knowing that he went directly into the arms of Jesus without having to face any of the bad things this life has to offer.

Sharon,
I think of you often and how God has filled your life with a wealth of thoughts, love, knowledge, encouragement, etc. that you can pass on to others. God has entrusted you with an amazing task of being a light in peoples darkness. When they are lost from curve balls life has thrown them you have the ability to be what they need to hear or see. God bless you for being who you are, what you are, and above all else, faithful to Him. Love from your cousin in Memphis.

Sharon,

Went up to MDAnderson today to deliver DVDs and 3 players - someone stole them from the clinic! My friend, Shirley, went with me and she said her mother lives in Cabot. I started telling her about Dakota and she said her mother would send her newspaper articles about him! It's a small world, isn't it? I noticed you are about done with your grief journal. I would love some insight that you taught/shared/learned about. Because really, it never ends, does it?

When Dakota was born, I thought he had to be the most beautiful baby in the world. I am so blessed to be called aunt Donna. reflecting on my precious memories. going through pictures is so difficult, but so necessary. I have to go back sometimes and look no matter how painful.

The Bible is full of sucessfully stories we once veiwed at first as if they were a only a tragedy, yet life springs from this, so was our Dakota and Riley onced looked up to is now himself looked up to, of a new brother in our midst Sometimes God signs his work, I smiled big when my sister told me his full name.

Dearest Sharon,
I am so excited about Master Quinn joining your beautiful family! What a blessing.

This morning has been a rough one for me. I have been having the "WHY?" conversation with God. These landmark days are always going to be extra hard and I want to make sure you know that we haven't forgotten and that we are feeling them with you. As I celebrate Bryan's Cabot High graduation tonight, I will be remembering another very special boy of the class of 2009. I hope they call his name Sharon. Some people will say that I shouldn't share these thoughts with you, because I might upset you. However, you and I have always been pretty open with our hearts and you know I always pray a lot before I write anything on your journal page. Okay, well maybe not so much about the old football bantering and such, but the deeper matters of the heart for sure. I just need you to know that even as we all, your family too, continues to heal an cope and find a new way to go forward with Dakota in glory, he's still very much a part of who we are and we remember his beautiful touch on our lives.
There is still a package for you on my counter and maybe it wasn't just being too busy to get to the post office or procrastination or distraction or whatever, maybe today is a fitting day to drop it on your porch with an extra special measure of love.
The tightest of tight, bone-crushing hugs to you and your guys.
Love,
Lis

We miss him everyday, and he will always be close to our hearts. It doesn't seem like it has been three years. I can't wait to see him again one day. I continue to pray for you, and I'll always keep the faith. Love and miss you, Dakota.

Hawkins family,
Each day of each year that has gone by I think about what a blessing Dakota was to my life. He is a great blessing to this year's senior class and we all miss him greatly. I pray that you all are at peace knowing what a great friend, and young man Dakota was. I can only imagine the wonderful life he is living with our Savior and our King!
Still keeping the faith,

^^Warrior Dakota^^
God looked around his garden,
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth,
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you,
And lifted you to rest;
God's garden must be beautiful-
He always takes the best.
He knew that you were suffering,
He knew you were in pain;
He knew you would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough
And hills were hard to climb
So he closed your weary eyelids, and whispered,
"Peace be thine."
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you didn't go alone,
For a part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.

Forever 15

Today is your birthday
18 years ago you were born
Into a family that is now torn
This day use to celebrate your first breath
Now it reminds us of your death
But sorrow and grief are not our feelings today
We are glad hearted and shall not dismay
I think of all the good times we shared
And nothing will ever compare
To all the joy you brought to our lives

Today we are reminded of you faith and your trust
While others were at a lost you saw what was just
You graciously waited to be with the Lord
And my Dakota what a reward
Even though you left us so full of youth
You have been a witness to the truth
Of the crystal sea and streets of gold
That are there for your beautiful eyes to behold
I know you will wait for us to met you there
So once again we can share
The time together that we have come to miss

For now, we will keep the faith through life�s endeavors
And your memory we will keep forever
Until the face we had seen
That we lost at fifteen
Greets us at the pearly gates

Just wanted to stop in to let you know that we are thinking of you today. LOVED your entry and BELIEVE that what you are dreaming and feeling is your Dakota -- your Guardian Angel. I stopped by to visit with Dakota yesterday and wish him a Happy Birthday! I prayed to God and Dakota to always stay with you and let their presence be known. I heard Jennifer Bates on 94.1 yesterday with the Make A Wish Drive. And, listened to your request of "Sweet Home Alabama" thinking of Dakota with a smile on my face! I'm still in awe of his strength. Love you all..

Thank you for sharing and for the opportunity to remember those that we still mourn & love, even when other's don't understand. I am so blessed with the memory of my wonderful husband, Terry. This is our 4th Christmas without him & I miss his as if it was 2005 all over again. I can look into the eyes of ZAc & Gracie and catch a glimpse of their dad. At our Christmas Eve service, I saw Jesse & his children and remembered Amy who went to be with her Father in 2006. I think of Paul & Trevor & Kaity and know that today is very difficult as they celebrate their 2nd Christmas without Laurie. I had the honor of attending funeral services for a co-worker last week. The pain on Mr. Rainwater's face brought back so clearly the memories of 2005. We are blessed to have loved so much that the pain is so deep. Thank you for the reminder!

Each time I come here, I am reminded of how fragile life is. Dakota's picture is so full of life and I can't wrap my arms around the grief you have to live through each day. I ask Dinah's mom, Pam, the same thing. I think your post is just beautiful and yes, I can see more clearly this grief, however painful, serves to remind that there was great love and great loss. A loss honored and worthy of our remembering...

I choke back the tears remembering my Grandmother. She died when I was in college. I remember the call from my grieving mother. More, I remember crying myself to sleep for weeks and weeks afterwords. How today I wish my own children could have known her. I wish they could have been held by her and smell her sweet fragrance of tender love for me. You are right Sharon... it is very painful to go there to that place of great loss... but you are also right in that I don't want to forget how much it hurts either. I loved her so much and miss her terribly. I want and need to remember... it makes her real to me again...

Thank you for your post. I see why I was drawn to Dakota's pages this morning. I guess I needed a good cry and a reminder of what is truly important to me!!

God Bless you and your family, Sharon. I will share your post with other friends who will be blessed as well.

Sharon, Teary eyed, I'm so thankful that Caleb is healed. He's always on my mind, life will never be the same but so wonderful to know these children who were so ill will never have to endure pain anymore. They are a gift from God, they are his forever. Caleb would always say "I know!, Jesus will help me feel better!" It was very hard letting Caleb go but God surrounded his love around me assuring me it would be okay, it's hard to describe it. He has forever and always wrapped in Jesus arms with Dakota and others. Because of our salvation through Jesus Christ, we will soon be there with them. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT.

Love you very much

Just had you people on my mind. I am out of remission with this disease. It is a blood disorder. It is eosinophlicgastroenteritis(only person in Arkansas to be recorded having it). Five years ago, I was diagnosed and it affected the large part of colon, now it has hit the rest of colon and stomach. I have been on large doses of predisone. Two weeks ago, they changed to another steroid, Entocort. It cost $560.00 for 24 day supply. I will be on it for 5 more weeks for sure. I am a lot better. The predison was hard on my body and mind. Thankfully, I am of that drug.
How is everybody?

Sharon,

Thinking of you, as I often do, and thinking about Homecoming. And then it dawned on me - all the glitter and glam, the crowning of the queen and king, the night to remember... All this pales in comparison to what Dakota is experiencing - a Homecoming we can't even begin to comprehend!!!! Once again we are reminded to "Keep the Faith", fixing our eyes on Jesus - the KING OF KINGS!

It's like the kid who is always trying to "one up" his friend. "Oh yeah, well MY Homecoming was better than YOUR Homecoming - by a LONG shot!!!!"

SO much to be grateful for -

I just wanted to add...the day I found out about Dakota's passing, I was in Houston. I needed to run an errand and as I drove, I was listening to KSBJ (hopefully you discovered this wonderful station during your stay in the Houston area). I was crying out to God, angry that He hadn't answered the millions of prayers for Dakota as we'd hoped and expected Him to. Then, "Blessed be the Name" came on air. I had to pull over and force myself to sing past my sobs and tears the words, "on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name." It's so hard to understand, yet God remains all-loving and all-powerful. Now, every time we sing the song at church or it comes on the radio, I think of Dakota and of your family. Be assured, I have not forgotten. God gave me a marker, a remembrance tool, with that song. You are in my prayers as you continue to experience your loss, yet continue to keep the faith. May God bless you abundantly this year in ways you could not begin to imagine.

Mrs. Hawkins,

I don't know why but I was led to google Dakota's website and read up to date on how the family is doing. You are truly an amazing woman and your words of encouragement as well as words of wisdom are so inspiring. Life is such a gift and now that I am in college, in a new place and new environment, I am reminded daily of how to embrace it and share the love with others. Dakota's face keeps popping in my head, remembering how he was one of the happiest people I have ever known, faced with one of the most traumatic experiences at such a young age. His story, his life, his purpose on this earth was all in God's master plan and I feel like Dakota made a difference within my life, showing me kindness, compassion, and his love for life. Your family will always be deep in my thoughts and prayers and no matter how much time goes by, he will always be in my heart as well as you, Mrs. Hawkins. What a wonderful and precious woman you are, may I someday be a mother like you.

Dearest Sharon,
I pray a little harder for you right now and imagine what might have been. Homecoming is this week. I've pictured many times the fun Terry would have had with Gracie & her date and all of her friends. And I try to find comfort in knowing that he's a part of a much bigger celebration. I keep reading the words from Chris Tomlin's song
"Your grace is enough,
Heaven reaching down to us
Your grace is enough for me.
God, I see your grace is enough
I'm covered in Your love
Your grace is enough for me"

Praying for a bushel of grace & comfort for you!

Katy, tx - Wednesday, September 3, 2008 3:14 PM CDT

Sharon,

"Only one life,
'Twill soon be past;
Only what's done
for Christ will last."

I think of Dakota's life and what a testimony he was to His Lord and Saviour. And then I think of those who will waste theirs. Our natural man sometimes is overcome with the reality of what our children will NOT do. But look at what they DID do!!

Everyday the Lord needs to remind me to "look to Him" or I will lose my way. Day by day; hour by hour; minute by minute; moment by moment...

"Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, just as you also are doing." Dakota's life and death continues to remind us ALL to "Keep the Faith"!

Praying,

I can't believe Dakota would be a senior this year. How does life continue on like that? He was always smiling when I saw him at MDAnderson - except one time - it was around Valentine's Day and he was sitting on his bed complaining his stomach hurt. It kinda shocked me - I guess the reality of his cancer hit me that day...

SO grateful for God's amazing grace today - and the grace He so laviously poured out on Dakota and Dinah!

Yes, God is so very, very good!!

I know your thoughts and feelings can be hard to share at times. I am a mother too who grieves the loss of a child, a son who was only 17....taken suddenly and without warning. It's soon to be 2 yrs. but stings as if it were yesterday. I have become a changed person and each day is seen with a different perspective. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your "life message"-as quoted in a wonderful book I have,..."Shared stories build a relational bridge that Jesus can walk across from your heart to others." Your courage and ability to pull from a heart that is shattered, has been inspiring and comforting to say the least. I can't tell you how amazing it feels, when I come to your site, and you say the things I need to hear. Inside I feel a peace I did not have....again....thank you and God bless you and your family as you number your days!! and encourage others to do the same. Each day I thank the Lord for everything I have and surrender myself to his will...knowing each day is one day closer to HEAVEN!!

Dakota was an amazing young man - full of grace and courage. whenever I think of him having the Courage Award named after him it gives me courage and I believe it does for those who receive it each year as they fight their battles. I can only think Dakota is helping them in heaven interceding with the Lord on their behalf. May it comfort and encourage you to know he has made such a difference in peoples' live. You already know that, but sometimes it is good to be reminded. God bless you Henry and Sharon. You are in my thoughts and prayers

I took Jena to Harding University today for Girls State
and on the way home, I was somewhat amused watching the faces of those passing me and remembered that some of Jena's friends had written on the windows of her car, Seniors 09 etc. I'm sure they were confused seeing an old lady driving this teenagers' car! lol But as I drove home, I confess my heart was heavy thinking about how soon it will be that she will be going off to college. Where has the time gone?

You inspire me and I wish I had the ability to put into words what is on my heart as you do. You make it look so easy and everytime I read your writings, I am touched very deeply. The Lord touches others through you and through the memory of Dakota and we are all blessed by knowing the Hawkins family and reading your words. I pray for all of you. Love, Jan

I have never been one to keep pennies--they get on my nerves--not sure why, but I usually leave them on the counter when I get them as change. Today, I was coming out of the Dollar Store and I tossed my pennies that were part of my change on the sidewalk for some lucky child to find later in the day. It was like your Dakota spoke outloud to me, "Ms. Lis, what are you doing? Those can be part of the penny drive--Every cent counts!" There I was on the sidewalk, crawing around looking for those tossed pennies. I will drop them and a check in the penny jar at church tomorrow morning. It was so sweet to be touched by an Angel from heaven today.
Love,
Me

I cried yesterday after Bryan left for prom, because I knew this was one of those things that we talked about hating that Dakota would not do. Sean wanted to go out to eat, but I wanted to just have some quiet time to think about and pray for you. While it is the "big events" that slap me in the face about Dakota being gone, I know that there are things everyday that tear at your heart.
I started to write about this on your CB page the other day, because I was already anticipating a tough prom day, but I for some reason, just couldn't put the right words there. That was when I just wrote, "I love you," and maybe in all things, those really are the right words. I LOVE YOU girl!!!

I am the Spirit of April.

Violets nod in the meadow;

God has placed your family in my heart over the past couple of weeks. I walk in to school everyday to see a smiling face appear on Mr. Hawkins face. And for a moment i just sit there and think how much God has blessed his life. There are so many examples i could go through right now. But he sees what we kids have to put up with in Junior High these days and its amazing how he even puts up with it. I just want to say thanks to you Mrs. Sharon and to Mr. Hawkins the both of you are a piece of God that i see everyday when i walk into school. You guys are always in my prayers. Thanks!

Houston, ` - Wednesday, March 26, 2008 12:55 AM CDT

DEAR SHARON,

MY NAME IS ROBIN BAILEY. I LEARNED ABOUT DAKOTA'S FIGHT WHEN HE WAS VERY FIRST DIAGNOSED -- MY SISTER, DANA TREAT WAS LIVING IN CABOT AT THE TIME AND ASKED ME TO PRAY FOR HIM. DURING THE NEXT THREE YEARS, I GREW TO KNOW AND LOVE DAKOTA AND YOUR FAMILY. ON MARCH 13, 2006, IN MY GREIF, I STARTED A JOURNAL ENTRY THAT TRANSITIONED INTO A LETTER TO YOU. MY COMPUTER KEPT SHUTTING DOWN DURING THE TYPING OF THE LYRICS THAT I WANTED TO SHARE. I WAS DETERMINED, BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE TASK. I AM NOT SURE IF I POSTED ANYTHING AT THAT TIME, BUT I SAVED THE PORTION OF THE LETTER THAT WAS TYPED PRIOR TO THE LYRICS. IT READS:

"It was a very difficult day when I logged onto CaringBridge, just like every other day, to check on two precious people. One, a baby (a daughter of a friend), the other, Dakota Hawkins. I�ve been checking on him for 3 years, I�ve never met him face to face. I only knew him through my sister, she asked me to pray for him when he was first diagnosed with Leukemia. Over these years, I�ve grown to love this Hawkins family and have shared many hopes and dreams for their son and I hoped to meet them all one day.

It was a beautiful day, one of the first spring-like days here in Virginia, breezy, warm and sunny. I logged on that day, March 2, 2006 and read that Dakota had gone to be with the Lord just hours earlier -- I was more devastated than I could have imagined. I tried to sign the guest book, but was unable. I have a son, he is eleven, I don�t know that I could have cried any harder if it had been his death. There was a day recently, that I held him extra close, extra long and I wanted you to know on that night, that somewhere in the world, a mother�s son was being held, more meaningfully, in honor of Dakota. Not that it isn�t meaningful every time I hold my son, but that I stopped and really focused on that very moment, the very precious gift in my arms, and that it is a gift for that moment and not promised for everyday.

Your family has been the most amazing example, you may never know the ripple-affect Dakota�s fight has had across world. Dakota�s fight, we all know, was not merely a fight against a terrible disease. His was a fight of greater value, it was a very public fight for Christ, trusting in Him, living each day for Him and not letting Satan take hold in such a vulnerable time. How many times, no, EVERY time I logged on and read in your journal, I was encouraged and strengthened. And even now, you continue to post and encourage and strengthen and set such a beautiful example. I am brought to tears every single time, that you have the strength and love to be able to this for us. Do you realize how dependent on you we all have become? And do you realize how grateful we are that you will share even one sentence of yourself with us during this time?"

THERE WERE TWO SONGS THAT BROUGHT ME COMFORT DURING THAT TIME, "NO TEARS IN HEAVEN" AND "FARTHER ALONG". IT WAS DURING THE TYPING OF THOSE LYRICS THAT MY COMPUTER WOULD SHUT DOWN. I REMEMBER WANTING TO TELL YOU IN THE LETTER THAT THE DAFFODILS WERE BLOOMING HERE IN VIRGINIA ON THAT MARCH 2ND, AND I KNEW THAT WHENEVER I WOULD SEE THE DAFFODILS IN BLOOM, I WOULD BE REMINDED OF DAKOTA.

WELL, TWO YEARS LATER, THE DAFFODILS ARE IN FULL BLOOM AND I AM THINKING OF YOUR PRECIOUS SON AND YOUR PRECIOUS FAMILY. NO, I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN, NOR WILL I FORGET DAKOTA. I WILL NOT FORGET HIS COURAGEOUS FIGHT AGAINST A HORRIFIC DISEASE NOR HIS MORE IMPORTANT FIGHT FOR CHRIST AND HIS MESSAGE TO ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH.

LOVE IN CHRIST,
ROBIN BAILEY

Dear Sharon, I have the sweetest memory of Dakota. He was so wonderful to our grandsons who met him at MDA; he was patient with Garrett who asked a thousand questions of this "big kid" whom he idolized. And he played a hilarious game of hide and seek with Gatlin, who was so small that he didn't see Dakota "hiding" behind the newspaper in plain view. We feel so blessed to have known him and to learn from him and you how to see the DASH in all of our lives. Both boys are finished with treatment and doing great, but our lives will never be the same. God has used their illnesses to shape us. Please continue to share your life with us on this blog; you are a part of this history that we share, and I don't want to lose touch with you and your wonderful family. Thanks for being so open with us. May God continue to heal your hearts.

Thank you for keeping the site going. You are touching so many lives. The KTF Foundation sounds wonderful. I knew you would get involved in something and what a great way to help people.

It's wonderful how he can make it better, he's always with you through your hardest times while others do not have a clue what your going through. You took the words right out of my mouth. I have been thinking about the same thing today. Next month marks Caleb's two year anniversary being in heaven. I have to realize that others don't understand because they haven't been through this. I have had some hard mornings but I need to realize that Caleb is SO happy, walking side by side, hand and hand with his hero everyday. Sharon, you lift me up and I Thank you for that.

Happy Birthday Riley!
Sharon-You wanted to know why those of us who keep up with the site do so, well...for many reasons actually.
#1-To honor Dakota and his memory.I like to think he would be smiling each time someone visits this site.
#2-To keep up with your prayer needs as a family. Even though Dakota is no longer here, I know you guys still need our prayers for strength, comfort, and peace.
#3-For inspiration...Sharon, I know I have posted this before, but you really are a light to those around you. God has a wonderful purpose for Dakota's story and life and I know he would be very proud of how you have ministered to others in your own family's grief. Thank you for that.
#4-I like to see Dakota's smiling face on the front of the webpage. It reminds me of how strong he was. I didnt really know him as you did, but he was always smiling when I saw him and I know he still is.
#5-Your site has led me to pray for two other families-Job McCully and Ethan Powell. I pray for them and their families daily and you are a big part of why I do and how much better my prayer life has become. You took time to mention them and realize how important prayer is-to pray for HIS will, and pray for the comfort for the families in need.
Ms. Sharon-thank you for being so strong...for your family and for others around you in similar situations you have been in...I think I can speak on behalf of others that visit this site...We are here for you when you need us to lift you up. We love you guys.

You have been the greatest example to all of us with your continued sharing of your faith, perhaps this too was all part of God's plan.He is using you , using this website as a ministry to reach others, listen for his voice , keep posting when he tugs at your heart to do so, for only the Lord knows who your words are reaching and what effect they are having on someones life.

We little knew that morning that God was going to all your name,

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,
For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

My favorite memory of Dakota is watching him laugh at Terry's very corny comments. I am thankful for the way God used your family to prepare my family for what was to come. I am ever amazed at the way God works and provides for our needs even BEFORE we know what those needs are. I thank God for you and your family at every opportunity. You continue to be in my prayers.

Hey Hawkins Family!!!

I know I haven't written in a while... I've been really busy with school... I miss seeing you guys, especially since we've swapped churches... No, we haven't move our letter yet, and yes, I still don't like it there.

Guess what? My art is getting WAY better. I've even been able to draw more realistic things. I've been writing stories too. I wrote a personal narrative last semester. It was about some of the memories I had with my friends. I could send it to you if you'd like... It got extra credit, my teacher said it was a powerful piece of writing. Writing, drawing, and golf are my God-given talents, I suppose...

Anyways, Keep the Faith, and remember I'm still prayin'!!!

Dear Hawkins Family,

What a powerful message "The Dash" sends. It does make you re-think what is important in one's life. When I think back of Dakota I always think of his smiling face and happy spirit. I am in "awe" of what he accomplished during his time with us...he spread his love of God to more folks than we will ever know. I truly believe that this was his mission....Keep the Faith!! Love to all...

Sharon, Henry, and Riley:
I have seen the Dash many times but never seen the video. It brought me to tears. Good tears,sad tears, and all kinds of tears in between. It is bittersweet tomorrow I know. The anniversary of your loss and the date that Dakota went to join the Lord and all His many angels that watch over us now. I just wanted you to know that I have prayed for you today for your strength and a peace that passes all understanding. My heart aches for your family but rejoices that Dakota is no longer in pain. Ms. Sharon-I want you to know you are like a lighthouse to me. Sometimes we let the little things in life upset us or get us down. I know that everytime I see your smiling face at church you give me so much hope. My cup fills back up no matter what stresses or challenges may be in store for me I know that my hope and my strength is in God and you remind me of that every time I see you and hug you. Thank you for being that to so many. You are such an amazing woman. My prayers and thoughts will be for you and your family tomorrow and all who knew Dakota. In Christ...

Sharon,

I was praying for you this morning and the Lord put Psalm 121 on my heart:

"I will lift up my eyes to the mountains;
From whence shall my help come?
My help comes from the LORD,
Who made heaven and earth.
He will not allow your foot to slip;
He who keeps you will not slumber.
Behold, He who keeps Israel
Will neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is your keeper;
The LORD is your shade on your right hand.
The sun will not smite you by day,
Nor the moon by night.
The LORD will protect you from all evil;
He will keep your soul.
The LORD will guard your going out and your coming in
From this time forth and forever."

Your friend,

"For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into your lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort."

Sweet Sharon,
Two difficult Thursdays in a row ...
God has been waking me at my old "Dakota Power Prayer Time" this month and I know it has been to lift you and Henry and Rily up. Last week I lit a string of black cats for Kota's birthday and said many, many prayers for you. May God pour out His blessings on you and give you comfort that can only come from Him.
On March 2nd, Sean will be running the Little Rock marathon. While I am excited for him to take on this challenge, it was a bitter-sweet moment for me because I immediately thought of Dakota when that date came up as race day. It kind of clicked in my head as a parallel, because we've talked bout how Dakota was such a pillar of persevereance. He truly did press on and ran the race to claim a prize far more precious than the medal Sean will receive at the LR marathon finish line. Dakota's influence carries on and he continues to teach me. He modeled to me what it really means to put your trust in God and to step out boldly for the name of Jesus no matter what life tosses in your path. I'm so grateful for the lasting touch your sweet boy has had in my heart and on my spiritual walk. What a precious treasure your Dakota is to so many.
Know you are on my heart.
Eyes on Him,
Liss

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Happy belated birthday Dakota! So many people are missing you right now but we know you are in a much better place now and without pain.

Sharon, Henry, and Riley-
My heart aches for you and the pain you have felt since Dakota's passing. I know times like these and anniversaries will be hard for you. Harder than anyone can imagine who hasnt lost a child or sibling. I have lost a sibling but I never got the joy of knowing him so I still cant imagine what you must be going through. I pray for you all that your hearts will see the joys and triumphs Dakota has now in being with the Lord more than the pain that comes with losing a loved one. May God continue to bless your family with His wonderful love and peace. Love you guys.

Dearest family, these
thoughts are for my precious brother, sister-in-law and very special nephew, Riley. 17 years ago today our lives changed forever. Bethany was 4 and we spent the day at the hospital waiting on the very special arrival of Henry Dakota Hawkins. I will never forget the look on Mom's (Sue) face when Henry walked out w/Dakota. Not to mention the look on Henry's face. I will forever have that memory in my heart. It is so painful to think at times that Dakota is w/ God and mom too. I really felt like there were never two more beautiful nephews than mine. No other aunt loved their nephews as much as i loved mine. That is what i thought. I still believe my life has been richer for having Dakota for the 15 years I had him. I can still hear him say "aunt Donna" don't worry. My heart is heavy today and I am comforted as well to know that "We Can Only Imagine" what Dakota is seeing right now. I believe I have one of the most wonderful families and my life is enriched to be a Hawkins. Remember, I love you all so very much. Aunt Donna

Sharon,

I can't believe Dakota would be 17 today. To think he was diagnosed at 11... Where have the years gone?

I know the memories are bittersweet and your mother's heart is breaking for what could have been, what should have been. But I also know your faith, your hope, and your love for our Heavenly Father - that He is good still. May you continue to rest as you wait for the day when you will be united with your precious Dakota again...

Oh how very sad and annoying!...I just wrote you a novel and then stupidly clicked return to the gb instead of submit or whatever it was that I was supposed to hit and voila, my novel was gone. So, now for the abridged version...

So, you have been a prominent feature in my thoughts today. You are always there, tucked in that special part of my heart, lingering in my brain and prayers often, but today, you were just a'marching around in the center of everything that I did. I pray that all is well with you. All days without Dakota are difficult, but I know there are extra hard anniversary dates coming up soon.

I'm not sure if Cabot is coming to the big tournament this Saturday at ASD, but maybe I'll see you there. You know, ASB doesn't have a football team, so, as odd as it may seem to some, this tournament serves as their home coming meet, so it is a big deal to them. Hope to catch up with you there if Sir Ry is wrestling at it.

I left you a rather lame voice mail on my way home for work and I think I will take the rest of terribly abridged post to an e-mail message to finish it.

Almost hate to post this it is so scattered, but I will anyway.

Know that you are loved and that the prayers for your family continue to be lifted to the throne of grace faithfully.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Your family has such strength and may God continue to give you the strength you need daily. Many people take so many things for granted when it comes to daily living and I was one of them until I was told my nephew had cancer. He was six at the time and his family was going thru a divorce and he stayed in my home quite a bit. I will give you the best advice that a six year old little boy gave me unkowingly. Some days will be bad days and some will be good and it is ok to have both. I watched him take a little girls(age 3)hand at AR Childrens Hospital who also had cancer and tell her it would be ok and that is what he told her to make her stop crying. How simple a child helping another child. If all adults thought that way life could be so wonderful. I know that Dakota has touched so many people by all the entries in this journal and know that now he is helping the Lord watch overall of you. You gave your son the best gift of his life the gift of love. You are very amazing people just from what I have read thru this journal and it was reflected in your sons. Both giving life and love for each other and so many more! If you need anything please don't hesitate to email. I believe you met my sister thru Make-A-Wish Brenda Whitbey (may have been bunker when she did the wish). We both volunteer. Take Care and you will always be in my prayers.

Another Year for Thee

Another year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
Another year with Thee!

Another year of leaning
Upon Thy loving breast,
Of even deeper trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest.

Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace;
Another year of gladness,
In the shining of Thy face.

Another year of progress,
Another year of praise;
Another year of proving
Thy presence "all the days."

Another year of service,
Of witness to Thy love;
Another year of training
For holier work above.

Another year is dawning!
Dear Master, let it be,
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year for Thee!
