Merry Christmas in Heaven Dave! From Your Wife.

I got really excited when I was told that Dave was my secret service person. 2015 has been another hard year. Losing my mom has made me think of Dave even more and more every day. In march when my mom died I had to go to Mexico and I decided to stay and spend more time with my family. I knew that my dad was going to need me. I was so grateful and sad at the same time that I was able to provide some comfort to my dad. I had the right words and I totally knew his pain. I was able to tell him that with time his pain will get easier and easier. During my time in Mexico I thought about Dave so many times, specially when he was a missionary. I always admired his will of sharing the gospel with anybody, he was fearless in opening his mouth and tell the truth about the plan of salvation, something I was always afraid to do. Dave has change my life for better. Every single day I try to help with whatever I need to. This year my family and I planted a tree next to my mom grave. My family and I went to the cemetery and cleaned other graves and put fresh flowers. We did this thinking about Dave because he was always willing to help. Dave was also so patient with people. I am trying my best to follow his example by first starting with my kids :). This year when it marked the 4 year anniversary my kids, mom and I went to do some service. We took donuts and flowers to the fire department, went to my gym to take some flowers to people I know and also took some flowers to the ICU unit where Dave was. This time after 4 years the memories of going back there were less painful but still very fresh in my memory. It was nice to do this for them. My kids like to do that every year and it is teaching them to always serve. I took some pictures but for some reason is not letting me post them. To all of you, Dave's family, I want all of you to know how much I still love Dave, there is not a day that I don't think of him. I fell in love with him since the first time he tried to hug me and it does hurt a lot not having him with me. As he has told us and told me before, we do not get to chose when to go. This is something that was very hard for me to understand but I am now to the point where I knew it was his time. I want you to all know that when I feel scare I close my eyes and remember the days I dated him, I remember his hugs and how much comfort they used to bring. I miss him so very much. My kids miss him. I adore that man with all my heart. I am so grateful for the dreams I get to have and the view of me reunite with my eternal companion, if my happiness is as much as it is in my dreams then I can't wait for the day I get to be in his arms again. He is still big part of my life and now I know him and Heavenly Father also sent Wes in my life. He is another amazing guy who I have learn to love and adore too. What a wonderful husband I have now that loves to read when I am writing about  how much I still love my Dave. I have been blessed big for sure!
This year and every year since Dave left us, I do service for people and a volunteer in any ways I can.  He was and is the greatest!
Dave I love you to the moon and back sweet heart! Merry Christmas in heaven baby.
