I asked The Sunbeams if they would like to learn the part. Dylan quickly opened his book and read the prayer. I asked him if he thought he could memorize the prayer and say it when we perform our musical. He said, &amp;quot;I know I can do it.&amp;quot; I know he will. Alot of parents pray for their children, but not with their children. You and Courtney are an inspiration to all. Give Dylan a hug from Mrs. Dawn.
