My Loved one (Week 4)

I have many memories of many loved ones but one that sticks out to me the most is Dustin. Even though I had a limited amount of time with Dustin, I felt like I knew him better than any one. He had his guard up all the time but when it came to me he seemed to let his guard down. I didn’t have to do anything to get his trust. I instantly had it. When it came to other people he would be a jerk to them and whoever stuck around got to know the real him. I didn’t have that trouble. When I looked into his eyes it was like he was telling me what he was thinking and in his eyes he was scared of people giving up on him and walking away and hurting him. He knew that I would never walk away and I would stick around as long as he needed me to. When I think of him now I think of farming, he had a passion with farming. He was into John Deer tractors. Sometimes when I see a John Deer I think of him and only wish for the best and hope he is happy wherever he is. The next thing that reminds me of him is everything outdoors. He was a country boy down to the bone. Now that I look back I have many memories of him. I did not realize that I knew him since I was in first grade when he worked at his Dad’s farm. He came to where my parents worked and I was outside with my friends on the farm, climbing on the trees. I still remember exactly what I was wearing. I was in a purple and white dress, with work boots on and he was working away under the scorching sun in his white shirt and his blue jeans, driving his favorite tractor. He always said “Give everyone a second chance even if you feel like they don’t deserve it. They might need someone to believe in them, when they are insecure about themselves. Now I live by his advice.
