The forth of July, as always, is never a pleasant day. This year it was peculiar to be in a different country. Not only did the forth come a day earlier than yours, but there was no celebration, no annual BBQ's and especially no fireworks. I enjoyed the vacancy of all these things. It allowed me to be quiet and reminiscent with out the hustle and bustle around the holiday.
I stayed at home most the day. I finished Jane Eyre, which I loved. It has been a very quiet, low key kind of a day.
I have such a hard time believing that it has been 5 years. I cannot say that time makes the pain any less severe.
David made us all better people. His love lives on inside everyone who knew him. I am so thankful for the days, though short, that I got to spend with him and know him. My life is such a better place because it was touched by Dave.
I love you all more than you know.
We have been at the parade and just finished the family b-b-q. Your mother barbara is making a beautiful flower arangement for David and for your brother clifton.
ReplyDeleteWe all love your blog. We all remember DAVID and the special person he was.He will always be in our hearts too.
love ya bam bam
Dear Sam,
ReplyDeleteThe Fourth of july will never be what it used to be but just think what a greaat tribute to Dave that everyone in the USA celebrates his life with BBQ's, Fireworks and Parades just for him.
Your mom went to the dentist this morning. she has the starting of a cold but is taking some cold medication so I hope she will be able to shake it off quickly. I'm trying to take care of her but as you well know she has a mind of her own. She doesn't always listen to me or do what I tell her to do.
I hope she is haveing a little fun. We are injoying her visit very much.
Love you more that you'll eveer know.
