He made us feel it was OK to hurt and he helped us bring some peace and some laughter in our time of heartache.
From the moment my husband and I met Dakota we felt this sincere and sterling aura about him. My sweet little lamb has been in the hospital for the past 4 months plus and has never been home. We came from San Antonio to Austin for heart surgery so you can imagine the stress of lodging and being away from our other 2 children. He made it to where we felt comfortable leaving to go eat and we felt that he cared for our daughter, that she wasn’t just a patient to him but a baby, a daughter, a sister. He made us feel it was OK to hurt and he helped us bring some peace and some laughter in our time of heartache. There should be more Dakotas in this world. If we could, we would love him to care for our sweet girl for the rest of her time here. Thank you Dakota from the bottom of our broken hearts. Please don’t change, please always strive for that honesty and pureness.
