Sunnyside Cottage: Cameryn Kaye Bates

Cameryn Kaye Bates

Cameryn is our very first grandchild. She was born nine years ago yesterday. July 4th is such a special birthday for such a special girl. Angie and Ben were living in Logan at the time and Angie was just finishing her degree at Utah State. They called us about midnight and said that they were just heading to the hospital. Bruce and I jumped into the car and drove to Logan. We arrived there about 2 A.M. and she was born shortly after. We were all so excited to be there to welcome her to our family.

Cameryn is such a loving, sweet girl. As she is very outgoing and loves to talk, she has many friends. She has great concern for others. If there are any problems with family or friends, she will start fasting and praying for them. She loves artistic things - knitting, painting pictures, reading, gardening, cooking, music etc. She is a kind big sister to her three younger siblings and she is always willing to help out around the house or with babysitting.

I wish I had more recent pictures of her, but I haven't seen her since last summer. They live a long ways away - in Bath, North Carolina. We are so happy that we will be seeing all of our grandchildren in just a few weeks. The Heavens and the Bates will all be coming to visit us at the end of this month and staying through the first part of August. We will all have some time together before Will leaves on his mission to Bogota Colombia.

If - by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breath a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
