For All Who Love David

I just started this blog mostly for David's mom and dad Lloyd and Sari. You have both always been lights in my life. First as Mrs. Miller, Sari you were my teacher and a great one at that. Lloyd, well you fixed our cars....ok, you are so much more than that also, you're a great friend and have served your community in Scouts, and so much more.

You both gave us David, a wonderful friend, a charmer, a car lover, and a smarty pants to boot! He always will be know for those great traits of his.

This blog is for you, because as his parents we want you to know all of our stories and have all the pictures we've collected, so that maybe we can help keep David's spirit alive. Maybe you have done this a million times already, but I can only imagine you've walked by David's room or a favorite spot and could almost feel him there, and want to just talk to him. (I can barely stand to type right now just thinking about it.) None of us have to go through what you will and we know that! However, we want and hope this will be like walking into David's room...you will come to this blog to see who was influenced by David and remember him well.

For those of you reading this who are friends and family members of David's, I invite you to post anything you wish on here. Please e-mail me at jendoll_lv4music@hotmail.com and write a story and include any pictures you have. All of us need to grieve, and I hope this will help us to do that, but much more. I hope this blog will be a light to others, that we will all remember that someone's light does not go OUT when they leave this world. David's already watching us from a much better place, and he is there when you think he is, watching over your shoulder and helping you along.

David IS a wonderful guy, he always was as a child, so full of life and energy. He'd light the room as soon as he walked in. I had the pleasure and privilege to have been in the same daycare as he was, my mom ran it, and technically I also helped her out. Since I am only a little older than David, we were also buds. He always was kind to me. On a side note one of my favorite memories of David (possibly slightly inappropriate, but nonetheless relevant) was that once I got a little older and was "developing" I noticed what a charmer he started to be. He would open doors and give the BEST hugs in the world. I don't have any pictures with me at the moment, so I hope you all can help me out here. Also any favorite songs/type of music would be appreciated so we can crank up the tunes too, we all know that's how David's room would be.

I hope whomever sees this blog will have the warmest feelings in their hearts when they leave it, so come on in there's a comfy seat to sit in and just hang out for a while, remember and honor this precious young life!
