I miss your bright eyes and your smile. You took with you all of that sunshine, that brightened our lives for a while. Just remember that we'll always love you and that I was so proud of you. I can hear you asking 'uh-uh door, k, Daddy?'...I'll leave it open just a bit for you so you can see some light and find your way..Love you, David.

Just remembering David today. He was such a happy little guy, who loved to help his dad wash that little green car. His smile could light up the room. Thinking of the family and friends left behind. Remember the good times!

Hi Dave: You told me once that you felt you had to live up to my expectations..it must have been cold there in my shadow and I am sorry that you felt that way..I was trying to make you a better person than I was and I think you did that until the drugs took over your life. I'm sorry that you felt you couldn't share that with me..I'm just so sorry.
Not a day goes by without you in my thoughts..46 years ago today I held you in my arms..incredible feeling..so surreal. I was determined to make a good life for you, your mom and eventually, your brother..you drifted away..and I so wanted to bring you back. But now you're gone and I'll continue to think of you every day as my little boy who brought me such pride..such happiness and such wonder. Too short a time that you stood beside me holding my hand....you asked me once if I was going to die..I told you that everyone dies and, yes, I would die too. You burst into tears..as did I when I found out that you had died..I never would have imagined that you would be first to go..it's so lonely without you..I miss you..I love you. Don't worry, son..we can take it from here..until next time....bye bye

It's been almost a year..in 3 days. We think of you every minute of every day. To quote one of your posts - 'Man it's tough'..and it's tough without you..trying to let go, but not easy.
I hear you talking in my head..like you were in front of me. We wish you didn't go, but you can't come back..leave it son, we can take it from here. You're still my little boy who used to change the channels for me..I love you so much..as does your mom.
