I was so happy to see this opportunity to remember Spence as he was so kind to suggest I call him as my late husband was named David. Kind is the first quality I think of when I remember Spence. I remember a trip to Blount soups for him to buy some frozen shrimp bisque to send to my daughter and her family when my youngest grandson was born. This was at a time when we had moved on but still remained friends. Thanks Spence for your kindness. RIP

Today David would have turned 76. Anyone who knew him would tell you that he wasn’t the most sensitive or sentimental guy. He didn’t especially enjoy having a birthday. But for the kids and I it was a special day.

Especially for them. After all, there would be no them if not for their Father.

This has been a hard week. When someone you love is no longer here, special circumstances and days can trigger all sorts of emotions. I’ve been on that roller coaster ride this week.

Although I was only married to him for 23 years, I loved him from the time I met him until he left us in January of this year. Nearly 50 years.

He had so many great qualities. He was smart and kind. Always willing to lend a hand. Big hearted. He could fix most anything. (Although sometimes quite unconventionally.) He was funny and quirky. Sometimes he could be downright infuriating.

Holly and I were laughing this morning. If David were still with us our phones would have been blowing up with minute to minute weather updates. I think he would have made a good storm chaser😊

This time of year would have had Holly and I running into every store searching for the elusive mincemeat pie that he loved so much. I put one in my cart the other day at the store, just out of habit. First I laughed at myself. Then the eyes and nose stinging started.

Here’s a reminder to all of my friends and family. Love conquers all, regardless of how much of a curmudgeon a person may be on any given day. We need to love them just the way they are. Hopefully, others will extend the same grace to us. We never when our next goodbye will be the final goodbye.

Oh David, now I can be sad for you...an engineer, first and foremost, and a doting grandfather. You will be missed by all who knew you...perhaps, surprisingly by, the guardians of the gates at yacht clubs that you crashed to (a) have a beer, or (b) critique the boats in slips. You were always brave (one might even say foolhardy), but especially during your last fight with end stage cancer. I know God has a special fondness for you.
