Dear Wyatt,

If there ever was a boy who could be called sweet, it is you! Your loving smiles and gentle ways give you away completely!

I think one of the reasons you came to your family is because Talmage prayed so hard for a baby brother! You are as many years younger than Talmage as your dad was from his older brother Brett. When they were young the difference in age kept them from bonding too much, but as adults they are great friends! I think you and Talmage will be great friends as well!

Your middle name comes from your grandfather. You, Glen and Ezra share that middle name. In the Book of Mormon Alma named two of his sons Lehi and Nephi. Then he said to them, "Behold, I have given unto you the names of our first parents who came out of the land of Jerusalem; and this I have done that when you remember your names ye may remember them; and when ye remember them ye may remember their works; and when ye remember their works ye may know how that it is said, and also written, that they were good." (Helaman 5:6) Your Grampa Hassell is a very good man and I hope you will have many opportunities in your life to observe and remember his "works" and that you will want to honor your priesthood as he has.

You have also been blessed with wonderful parents who love you and will provide for you all that you will need to be successful and happy in this life. As you get older, much of your happiness will depend on the choices that you make. Trust your parents, teachers and church leaders. They love you so much and only want what is best for you. Talk to your Heavenly Father and your earthly parents whenever you are sad or confused. They love you more than anyone else and they only want what is best for you.

Even in your two short years of life, it has been easy to tell what a special young man you are. I hope I will have many more years to get to know you as you grow and to make and share some memories with you. Of course, if we do all that we have been taught to do, we will have eternity together!

I already love you so much!

Gramma
