Left – A photo of David and DeDe at their friend Kirsten and Leland’s wedding in 2006.
I was driving home on the freeway from a client meeting yesterday and it hit me. It was an awful feeling of sadness and loss, plus a sick feeling in my stomach. I really miss them.
Today is their wedding anniversary. I remember their wedding day, August 17, 1996. David had me as his best man. Luckily, we still have their wedding video. I’m in the process of digitizing it. I watched it a few weeks ago. Everybody was so happy and young. I wish I could go back to that day.
As a wedding party gift, David gave me a stainless steel flask with their wedding date inscribed on it. I never thought it would become such a precious momento. The best thing to remember them by is to look around their house at the pictures on their walls. Pictures of them together, laughing, smiling, loving. They were so happy and they loved each other deeply. Thank you all for your comments which help us remember them.
Happy anniversary Dave and DeDe! It’s still really hard to believe that I will never see you guys again. We miss you!!!
