THANK YOU 'BABYGIRL' MELISSA SCATTO* I LOVE THIS!! AND I LOVE YOU** 

DAVID, IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN~PRAYING THIS YEAR WILL BE 'MUCH' BETTER

"You meant so much to all of us
you were special and thats no lie
you brightened up the darkest day
and the cloudiest sky

your smile alone warmed hearts
your laugh was like music to hear
I would give absolutely anything
to have you well and standing near

not a second passes
when you're not on our minds
your love we will never forget
the hurt will ease in time

many tears I have seen and cried
they have all poured out like rain
I know that you are peaceful now
and no longer in any pain"

~SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED~

I CAN SHED TEARS THAT DAVID IS GONE,
OR I CAN SMILE BECAUSE HE LIVED,
I CAN CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY THAT HE'LL COME BACK,
OR I CAN OPEN MY EYES AND SEE ALL THAT HE HAS LEFT US.

MY HEART CAN BE EMPTY BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE HIM,
OR I CAN BE FULL OF THE LOVE THAT WE SHARED.
I CAN TURN MY BACK ON TOMORROW AND LIVE YESTERDAY,OR I CAN BE BLESSED FOR TOMORROW BECAUSE OF YESTERDAY.

I CAN REMEMBER DAVID AND ONLY THAT HE IS GONE,
OR I CAN CHERISH HIS MEMORY AND LET IT LIVE ON.
I CAN CRY AND CLOSE MY HEART, BE EMPTY AND TURN BACK,
OR I CAN DO WHAT DAVID WOULD WANT:
SMILE~OPEN MY EYES~CONTINUE TO LOVE AND GO ON~
SMILE BECAUSE YOU LIVED, DAVID~~~
...............ALWAYS LOVING YOU SWEETHEART,
          YOUR MA~

PROUD DADDY HOLDING BABY DAVID

"Our son was a wonderful blessing, a treasure from above. His laughter warmth and special charm; he was thoughtful and loving. Our son brought a special joy that comes from deep inside. And as he grew to manhood, he filled our hearts with pride. With every year that passed, he was more special than before. Through every stage, through every age, we loved him even more. No words can describe the warm memories the pride and gratitude too, that comes from having had a son to love and to cherish......like you."  (David!)

DAVID'S DAD LOVES TO  GO FISHING. 

WHEN THE BOYS WHERE LITTLE,

THEY ALL LOVED GOING FISHING

 WITH THEIR DAD!!  AS DAVID,

AND HIS BROTHER BRIAN, GOT OLDER,

 NOT SO MUCH!!

 DAVID DECIDED ONE DAY,

 HE WAS GOING FISHING WITH HIS DAD.

 THEY HAD SUCH

A GREAT TIME!! IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF THEM, THEY TALKED ABOUT DAVID'S FUTURE, HIS

GOALS, DREAMS, GIRLS, ETC. YOU KNOW, GUY STUFF. IT TRULY BLESSED HIS DAD'S HEART

TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO SPEND TIME WITH HIS FIRST BORN. THEY LAUGHED, CUZ DAD

HAD JUST EXPLAINED TO DAVID, HOW 'NOT' TO GET BATE HOOKS IN HIS GLOVES, AND

DAVID TOOK HIS HAND OUT FROM

 BEHIND HIS BACK,AND SAID,

"YOU MEAN LIKE THIS?" AND SURE ENOUGH,

 THERE WERE THREE

BATE HOOKS CAUGHT IN HIS CLOVE (THANK GOD HE WAS WEARING GLOVES ) THEY BOTH

LAUGHED SO HARD, THEY NEARLY FELL OUT OF THE BOAT.................NOW DAVID'S GONE, HIS

DAD DOESN'T FISH ANY LONGER, HE GAVE HIS BOAT AWAY.  WHEN WE ALL GET TO THE NEW

EARTH~~THEY WILL GO FISHING AGAIN

DAD

What Makes A Dad

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called him....Dad

 DAVID'S TRUE PASSIONS: PLAYING HIS GUITAR, HIS DRUMS, AND WATCHING THE DETROIT LIONS. HIS FAVORITE PLAYER WAS BARRY SANDERS. AFTER BARRY LEFT, IT WAS HARRINGTON. HE WAS A TRUE DIE HARD LIONS FAN.

THANK YOU IRENE XAVIER, MOM OF PRECIOUS KAYLA FOR THE GRAPHIC~COLLAGE~BELOW♥

THANK YOU PRECIOUS MICHELLE(JAMIE & JOSHUA'S) MOM~I LOVE THIS LIONS GRAPHIC! YOU ARE ONE SPECIAL LADY, MY FRIEND!!!

A Man in Grief

 
"It must be difficult
To be a man in grief,
Since "men don't cry" and "men are strong"
No tears can bring relief.
It must be very difficult
To stand up to the test
And field calls and visitors
So she can get some rest.
They always ask if she's doing all right
And what she's going through,
But seldom take his hand and ask,
"My friend, but how are you?".
He hears her crying in the night
and thinks his heart will break.
He dries her tears and comforts her,
But stays strong for her sake.
It must be very difficult
To start each day anew
And try to be brave~

he lost his baby too......."

   Till Healing Comes 

Because you're no longer here
It's like the lights have all gone out
and won't be lighting up this year.
And so this year I must be
just how it is I am.
So that soon my heart can heal
I'll do the best I can.
The only thing that I can do
is to stay present in the now,
to feel my grieving pain
and know I'll heal somehow.
As this year gently comes,
and as my heart is torn in two.
I'll open just a little bit
as I'm deeply missing you.
I'll trust the gift of life that's here
and trust that I'm ok,
and be with how it is right now...
..till healing comes my way"

"UNTIL HEALING COMES MY WAY!!"

by Bev Swanson

THE UNBREAKABLE BOND OF A FATHER AND SON, EVEN DEATH CAN'T BREAK

I PROMISE

I promise I won't cry forever

But I need to just today.
I promise I will remember
How to live and how to play.

I promise that I'll dry my tears
When the heartache goes away.
I promise that it won't take years
But I need another day.

I promise that I'll live my life
As you would want me to.
I promise when I'm facing strife
I'll face it straight and true.

I promise I will endeavor
To do the best I can each day.
I promise I won't cry forever
But I need to just today.......
I miss you so much honey~
Loving you forever and ever
Until I see you again,
Love,  Ma

 I THESSALONIANS 4:13-18

"BUT I WOULD NOT HAVE YOU TO BE IGNORANT, BRETHREN, CONCERNING THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP,

THAT YE SORROW NOT, EVEN AS

OTHERS WHICH HAVE NO HOPE.

FOR IF WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN, EVEN SO THEM ALSO WHICH SLEEP IN

JESUS WILL GOD BRING WITH HIM.

FOR THIS WE SAY UNTO YOU BY THE WORD OF THE LORD, THAT WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN UNTO THE COMING OF THE LORD SHALL NOT PRECEDE THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP.

FOR THE LORD HIMSELF SHALL DESCEND FROM HEAVEN WITH A SHOUT, WITH THE VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL, AND WITH THE TRUMP OF GOD:

AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST:

THEN WE WHICH ARE ALIVE AND REMAIN SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH THEM IN THE AIR: AND SO SHALL WE EVER BE WITH THE LORD.

WHEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS."
