We all know eachother because of Dave and Dede. As we fly over Mulege we will reflect on the influence they had on that little town and the people they knew there. When we're underwater swimming with the fish we will reflect on what it was like experiencing this magical world with the Houghtons. One dive story that always makes me smile; while diving in Egypt with the Houghtons, we descended on a ship wreck that had plumbing fixtures on board as cargo when it went down. littered on the sea floor were bath tubs, sinks and toilets. Luke and Ryan were so excited to go underwater and sit on toilets! Just the kind of thing young boys love to do!

I was in the hospital and remembering the times in the past when David was with DeDe at my side encouraging me and checking every aspect of my care with the doctors and nurses. I felt their presense with me and it was comforting yet sad! I did not often get to celebrate with David for parties celebrating him and he was one that I just never knew what to gift him with. He was one that believed giving of himself and taking so very little for himself. I wish I could have visited the bench yesterday and sat there and remembered how very special he was to me, he I am sure never knew how much I loved him not only for his love of DeDe, Luke and Ryan, but also because he let me know how much I meant to him. I miss you David and will always, and am so thankful for the wonderful memories of the times we shared in such a short time. Oh, I was on the woman's ward of UC Davis hospital where the mothers that just gave birth and their new babies shared space near me. I told one of the nurses that I was just where I should be, DeDe could visit some of those new ones while also being close to me. God does work in loving and joyful ways. Happy Birthday David, I know you all celebrated in some special way as you always did. Love and Hugs! Linda Mom * Nana I thought of David yesterday and his birthday and of what a special man he was.
