To my Dad. You were an amazing person all around. I wish I could have told you how amazing you really were. I am so grateful I got the chance to know you. I will forever be thankful to Grandpa Mac who helped make our reunion possible. I got to know the person in you that mattered. David was a blessing in everyone lives. He knew how to make us laugh so hard that it hurt. He never focused on the negative things in life but encouraged others to see the positive and to forgive, accept things and move forward. I am lucky to have had him in my life, though it was for a short time. He will be deeply missed. No more pain, Dad. You are free! I miss you and love you forever! Kisses! Your scooter will always carry you in her heart. Xo!
