A True Inspiration.

Dallas continues to inspire me on a daily basis.

Just the other day, this was the conversation that we had.


Me:  Dallas, what do you want to be when you grow up?
Dallas:  An Army Doctor
Me:  Why?
Dallas:  So I can save all the soldiers who are dying.

Really?  What five year old thinks about saving the lives of others?
Before this all happened, Dallas simply wanted to be a soldier.  A great aspiration, something to strive for, most definitely.  But now... NOW he wants to be a Doctor who saves the lives of dying soldiers.  How inspiring is that?

So when you think that you have a rough life... when you think that the world has turned it's back on you...
Think about this little boy.  A child who was burned by oil, a tragic accident.  But has this caused him to be bitter?  NO.  Has this broke his spirits?  NO.  Has this made him feel sorry for himself?  NO NO NO!

In fact, this has actually changed him for the better.  He shows compassion that he's never shown before.  He shows strength that goes above and beyond what I have ever seen.  He aspires to be even more than before.  And he works through anything life throws at him.

Dallas is a child who will never give up on himself.  Dallas is a child who will not let the "reality of life" bring him down.  Dallas will succeed at anything he does in life, and he will strive to be the best he can be.

Dallas is a TRUE INSPIRATION!
