David.. another year has gone by, the world kept on moving so many things has happened since you passed. I think sometimes what it be like if you were living now … 2022… about much of what is happening in society you would probably spend a lot of time saying “See Ma I told you so.” The most horrific thing is that families were separated from each other during 2020- and 2021 so many people died both young and old… there were many weeping mothers fathers sons and daughters. I wondered how you might have responded. Now that the pandemic…corona virus or Covid is better controlled by vaccines and masking families are coming together again. I thought about you …. How proud you would be of your girls … Imani and Naiya … they are young women now. And Kaden is big and strong… though he is your nephew it’s amazing that he is so much like you …. He would definitely be your shadow… oh how he loved his Uncle D
Well it will be Christmas in two days and we will sit together laughing eating maybe singing I will be whispering prayers thanking God and thinking of you. If you were here I would say MERRY CHRISTMAS DAVE, LOVE YOU”

CASTING CROWNS SAYS IT BEST... WHAT A COMFORT THIS SONG BRING TO MY HEART TODAY AS I THINK OF YOU DAVID. " I know the road you walked was anything but easy, you picked up your share of scars along the way. Oh but now you're standing n the sun, you've fought your fight and your race is won The pain is all a million miles away
The only scars in heaven they wont belong to me and you, there will be no such thing as broken, and all the old will be made new. And the thought that makes me smile now,even as the tears fall down is that the only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold you now.
if you were here I would hug you real tight and say "happy 51st Birthday David" but because you left us too soon (for me) I can only imagine what a joyful day this would be listening to your big booming laugh.
lots of love, Mom

Wow David I remember how excited you were and how supportive you were of the current president while elections and conventions was going on almost eight years ago. Now they are trying to decide who the next president will be and I remember all of the discussions that we used to have in the house that was not only discussions but arguments that after a while nobody wanted to hear anything about politics of any sort or either candidate whether the comment was valid or off the wall, but it was a passion of yours to talk about the issues of the day. As the new conventions both Democratic and Republican conventions are going on and the candidates are trying to get people to vote for them, I think about you that you would have a heyday with the discussions and things that are going on right now. You were excited and I know that it's an amazing thing and now historical thing that eight years ago we got our first black man as a president and this year we have a woman, the first to receive the validation of a major party, in the run for president of the United States. It's a lot of discussion going on and I know that while you lived you had lots of thoughts, lots of ambitions, lots of ideals and ideas, and I can just IMAGINE how exciting it would be to listen to the sound of your voice in reference to the matters that is going on in the world. Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee addressed all the girls who waited up past their bedtime, it's not a quote but she said to all the girls watching on that night being able to witness her being nominated will let all the young girls in America know that one day, they too, could end up being president of the United States of America. I wanted to talk about this on your page because of the hope that you always expressed for your own girls. You told them that they could be anything they wanted to be. I remember Imani once wanted to be a doctor ; Niaya, still quite young back then, wanted to be a princess; they wanted to be artists and singers, along the way no doubt they developed other dreams. Hopefully today the dreams of who they are and what they could become will always flourish in their hearts and they will remember that my dad told me "I could be anything I want to be." Missing you today David and loving you always. Mom Sent from my iPhone

The first family memory was made in my new bed when Karen, Kayla, and Kaden climbed into it as I sat in a chair at the foot of the bed. We laughed and talked about the gigantic appearance of the bed and started reminiscing on the many memories of love, laughter, tears, secret stories funny or sad, that occurred in the old bed. The fact that all four of my children and all seven of my grands have spent time in the middle of that old bed purchased more than twenty years ago. There I have changed their diapers,propped their bottles, nurtured their hurts, listened to their corney jokes, watched cartoons and not so scary movies, ate breakfasts, lunches or even dinners, hid from the thunder and lightening and was awakened too early in the morning from the bright sunshine streaming in the window. Talk about comfort, In "grandma's old bed" kids fell asleep even when they didn't want to take a nap. Even as adults there was always a place to lay across the foot of grandmas bed whether I was in it or not. It was more than just my place of sleep it was a place that my family could always find peace. I was told that some children never was allowed into their parents bedroom much less to climb into their bed but for my family I never gave it a second thought..... My husband have sometime walked into the room looked at grandma and her daughters and maybe a couple of grands still short enough to stand in the bed laughing and telling silly stories and all he would say was "Oh Lord". Yesterday as the delivery man walked out the door with "grandma's old bed ". My daughter Karen said "wow mom just think about all the memories made around that bed". I thought about my boys David and Johnathan and the emptiness that creeps into times of joy because they are no longer physically here but in our hearts I still remember that they contributed to the experience of my lifetime, to the lifetime of this entire family. So yesterday the first family memory was made in "grandma's new bed" when Karen Kayla, and Kaden climbed into it as I sat in a chair at the foot of the bed and we laughed and talked about things of days gone by. When my girls read this they will understand why I say Thank God that memories remain even though THINGS may change.
