I really admire the dedication and unfaltering effort Adin can put into something he really loves…like the art of guitar. Lately he has really been intensely wanting to learn how to play the guitar that he got for his birthday over the summer from his Papaw and Nana. You can see how intense he is here in some of these photos where he was getting some of his first lessons at my mom’s house from Santo. We hope that we can harness some of the intensity Adin has for things like his guitar and help spread it out to provide more balance in his life as he grows into the man he is to become.
