View all 221 Reflections9-28-17 David, Another Birthday, you would have been 35, wow. I cherish every birthday we had together. I am so grateful that I got to see the man you had become. A fine son, brother, husband, uncle, friend. But every birthday that passes since you were taken from us, I am reminded of all the potential that you were not able to reach. All the life circumstances that we have missed you during. Oh!, just to hear you call out at my door, "Mom? Hellooooooo?????? I want to hear you tell me a story, complete with gestures and dramatics again. I know someday we will be together again. But in the meantime, I miss you so much. - Love you always, MOM <3
