A Christmas Memory...The Land Before Time
Austin your Daddy loved dinosaurs and when the movie "The Land Before Time" came out in 1988 it became his new favorite movie. The main character is a young Longneck named Littlefoot who is orphaned, this part made your dad very sad, when his mother is killed by a Sharptooth. Littlefoot flees famine and upheaval to search for the Great Valley his mom had told him about. On his journey he meets four young companions: Cera the Threehorn, Ducky the Bigmouth, Petrie the Flyer and Spike the Spiketail.
Though the story has sad moments it ends happy and your dad Charles was even more in love with dinosaurs after watching it He could tell you about each different dinosaur and if they were meat or plant eaters and if they could fly or just lived on the ground and so much more. Aunt Kathy was always on the lookout for plastic dinosaur toys for your dad to play with and he soon had a sizeable collection. He would bring them to Grandma and Grandpa Dunn's and lay in front of the TV and play with them while he watched TV. Your dad had quite the imagination.
Well when Christmas came around Aunt Kathy knew just what to get your dad for Christmas, a Littlefoot stuffed animal. Your dad loved sleeping with stuffed animals just as you did when you where his age! Just yesterday I was going thru some pictures and ran across pictures of the Christmas your dad got Littlefoot! I hope your enjoy these stories and pictures of your dad. It is such a joy to write them for you. Know that he is looking down from heaven and sending you love and prayers.
Happy Heavenly Birthday Charles,
Love Aunt , Great Aunt, Kathy
