Your birthday, your 60th is coming up-I often think that I've had the opportunity to live nearly 20 yrs longer than you did. I've seen 5 more grandchildren born. I've dreamt about you, cried over you, yelled at you, wished for more time with you. I've learned losing ones you love is part of life. I've tried to teach our kids that. You lived your life at Mach 3-you crammed a whole lot of living into your 46 years. It's just hard, you were so full of life, but we keep finding the dimes and somehow I seem to catch the time at 4:41-you are still so close to us, to me-I can feel you. Happy Birthday David-
