I will never forget one sunny summer day many years ago. David and I were sitting in the backyard talking for quite awhile. Just us. As he was getting ready to go, David said, "It's nice to have somebody you can talk to." I thought that was such a nice thing to say, especially since David was only 5 years old at the time!! I don't know if he made it up himself, or learned it somewhere, but I've thought of that comment many times since then...so simple and so true. David, thanks for that bit of inspiration. I'll miss you.
