Has it really been 10 years??????

 Dave was one of the kids (Todd was the other one) I hung out with that molded me and I took his passing very hard! BUT there were blessings that came with his passing. 

  • Seeing old friends that I thought I would NEVER see again and hanging out with them at casa de Sean y Annette after the Giants beat the Patriots AGAIN in the SB.
  • Seeing Sean D. 'put the smack down' on that tool, I think you all know who I am talking about, who thought they should be a pale barrier.
  • Annette letting Todd, Reesa and I stay at her house!!!!!!!!
  • Eating some 'yummy in my tummy' cinnamon buns and drinking coffee while talking with Reesa at breakfast while Todd was still sleeping.... 
  • Meeting Frank's awesome family Amy, Gabby and Elena, sorry if I was crying like a baby the first time we met. FYI- We have TAST-PA-LOOZA every year since!
  • Singing at the tops of our lungs Butch Walker's 'Synthesizers' at Annette's house before the wake.
  • His mom being so sweet to me and having me be a pale barrier.
  • Richie B letting me hold on his shoulder so I did not fall while being a pale barrier.
  • Mike A. opening up his bar to let us all gather there and drink a few after the wake.
  • Reconnecting with Marcy A. who was telling Lisa K. and I some funny stories about the students she had while being a sub teacher. 
  • BOB C. just being BOB and STILL calling me RA! GREAT STUFF!
  • Dave's mom not 'blinking an eye' at me accidently blowing snot on her when I was crying!
  • Walking to the old 'S&G' pizza place with Kaye to get a pizza...
  • Going to TOPS with Todd and Reesa late at night to get goodies that we could not get where we live.
  • KAT, Dave's sister being, so sweet to me even though she was morning the loss of her brother.

A very sad time BUT it was a blessing in a way!!!!!

So I don't forget!!!!!!

  My EDDIE Van Halen/ General Lee theory is kinda stupid BUT it kinda resonates with A LOT of stuff in life!   OKIE DOKIE!!!!! Let's del...
