No, this isn’t about David’s birthday—it’s about my birthday, March 28, and everyone else who will have a birthday without David by their side. Today, I realized as I was making plans for my birthday… David won’t be there for this one, like he has so many times before… it just kinda snuck up on me.
For everyone else having a birthday without David by their side, remember the birthdays of the past with him. Those birthdays aren’t about you—they are about your life and the people you are so lucky to have in it.
Like so many people reading these blogs, we won’t have David around to make new memories with.
So my 33rd birthday, I’m going to make new memories with friends. David, you won’t be there because you made your choice. I’m making my choice to live my life and cherish every minute I get with friends and family. I will think of you, David, on my birthday and all the crazy ridiculous fun we had. I want you to know that I’m not mad at you anymore… I’m just really disappointed I no longer get to share moments like these with you.
I miss you everyday, David.
But…
I’m looking forward to making new memories everyday.
