David Morrill and Whit

Meet David!

This little guy is so lovable. He asked the bishop in our ward to give him a party. David is the biggest Ute fan I've ever seen. Yes, even more than my sweet hubby. He sits out on his lawn, sunshine or blizzard, on game days sporting his Ute attire. A neighbor who knows Kyle Whittingham, Utes football coach, gave me his email to invite him to come and wish David a "Happy Birthday."

The look on David's face when Whit walked in was absolutely priceless. He had tears of sheer joy. He loves Whit. Apparently he knows Whit really well. He's been involved on the sidelines several times during games and Kyle knew who he was when I emailed him.

Whit's family came as well. They brought him a few neat gifts and each time David when to open on, he cried. He was so grateful for every little thing. It was so humbling to see. Every person in that room could feel his love and appreciation.


He hugged them all each time he opened a gift. Awesome!!

Then David asked Kyle to come sit and talk with him. He asked Whit to give him a job so he could help him coach the team. He was so funny and sweet. He just continued to thank Heavenly Father during their conversation. I thought he was praying at one point until he talked about beating BYU. It was so funny.


He stayed for a good half hour and then had to leave. I was so grateful that he would take time out of his Sunday with his family and spend a few moments with him. It still puts a smile on my face when I think about the look on David's face. It was so beautifully unforgetable.
