Dearest David,
This is everything I wish I could've said to you at the service, because I do and always will know and adore you.
When I was a child David and we were living together, you were the one who took care of me. You made that crazy seat on your bananna bike handlebars just so I could be with you. And when we would meet up with your friends and they would ask; you would cooly say "Yeah my sister has to hang out with us AGAIN",being so cool. And when we left them you would take me to feed the ducks, even stealing some at one point so I could have my own. If I hadn't already snuck out of my room and crawled in to be with you, You use to wake me up in the middle of the night and sneak me out to the living room where we would watch scary movies (Alligators in the Sewer) or something like that. I was never that scared because I had my brother. How anoying I am sure I was, yet you never let me know that. For one of my birthdays when you had moved away to California the only thing I asked for was for my brother to be home with me. That was the best birthday present I ever received! I will never forget your wedding and how angry I was. Not because I did not care for Brenda but because I was afraid I was losing you. Brenda was so patient with me for a good year while I was tormenting her with my evil looks and snotty remarks until I realized you would always be with me. Although I like mustard now, there was definetely a time when onions and mustard were not my favorite. That never stopped me from choking them down, because my big brother "Day Day" ate them. I can't forget the lovely haircut I got, just like yours. Although it was a great haircut for a boy I don't think it suited girls as well! Then again it was perfect for me because it was just like yours.
Thank you for the World Cup Soccer tickets for graduation and being beside me to enjoy the excitement of the game.
You were the best dog sitter for Zion when I had to go to work, even though she pretty much chewed through the cottage.
What fun times me you and Brenda had at concerts, at the cottage, and at the barn I called home. You had so much fun at my wedding dancing (yes I remember the dancing, laughing and visiting with the "Chile Beans" remembering precious moments in your youth.
I am so thankful we spent Christmas together. Makaya has wonderful memories of her "Uncle Davin" playing Chinese Checkers and puzzles, and plenty of gifts to cudlle with and remember your love for her. She loves and adores you also.
"Day Day" I am glad you are no longer suffering I only wish I could've done more. A handful of us know the fight that you had been fighting for years and years. I know you are no longer struggling. I will clebrate your new life David, knowing you deserve it! You deserve only the best, your life here was not so. I thank you David for touching so many lives with your kind, sweet pure heart and for being the best big brother you could be! I will see you in the stars, the moon, the water and my dreams always. I will laugh at the clouds as they will remind me of the packman game me you and Brenda shared.
We will get together again soon watching "Up in Smoke" and eating Mario's subs. You can take me for a ride on your new Harley telling me everything you have learned from the Discovery and Animal Planet channels.
We will walk Sam, Sasha, and Zion down by the water and feed the ducks.
I love you always David,
May you walk in Beauty!##imported-begin##Megan Cortes-Lathers##imported-end##
