Grandpa's Dream

While at our weekly Sunday visit with Grandma and Grandpa Fowler, Grandpa Dee told us he had a dream about Enoch the night before.  It went something like this:
Enoch and Grandpa Dee were visiting an amusement park in Lehi.  It was still under construction and so they snuck onto the property at night.  Enoch found a ride where you sit in a big cage and push different buttons to program how the ride moves and how fast it moves.  Enoch just started pushing all the buttons and the ride went berserk.  Grandpa Dee was on the ground trying to figure out how to get Enoch out.  He finally found the control panel and started pushing buttons and pulling out wires hoping to get the ride to stop.  He realized that he needed to pull on the buttons, rather than pushing them.  The ride came to a stop, Enoch got out, and they hustled out of the park before someone could discover them or their little adventure.
I laughed so hard and then rolled my eyes at this dream.  The funniest part is - both of them would totally do this - it's not really that far-fetched of a dream.  Really, they would do this and not think twice about it.  Out of all his relatives (including his parents), Enoch is most like his Grandpa Dee.  They both are intelligent, curious, inventive, believe they can truly do or fix anything and have no problem bending or stretching the rules to get what they want.  They are two peas in a pod.  I wish I knew Dee when he was seven - maybe, in a way, I do.
As scary and frustrating as Enoch can be sometimes, I couldn't wish for a better genes for Enoch.  Grandpa Dee is one of the most amazing people I know.  He is so kind, accepting, loyal.  He serves his family constantly.  The only thing he puts before his family is Christ.  I feel blessed to be a part of his family and lucky to have a child who takes after him.

I totally agree with you! I hope Enoch is just like Grandpa Dee in every way. He is a great man to emulate and has such great love for his family and shows it with such wonderful service. What could be better than that!
