It's been over a year since David passed away. I still miss him, but it doesn't *usually* hurt as bad as it did at first. The other day when I was walking to the van after work I thought to myself, "It feels like David's been away on a long vacation."
Yesterday I passed a photo of David in the living room. I thought about how when Cameron was on his mission it was David's calling to make sure the church was all locked up every night. Cameron's photo was in the missionary case on the wall. Every night as David walked past Cameron's picture he would tell him good night and think about how he missed him.
I thought of that and said good night to David's photo. Then I thought, "David hasn't even been gone as long as Cameron was - but he doesn't get to call home on Mother's Day or Christmas." (Ya don't call, ya don't write... :P)
Of course, the rules have changed a lot since Cameron was on his mission. I think missionaries are allowed to call home once a week or something now. I think they can even send emails every day now if they want. I'm not sure.
Just thoughts. I sure miss David, though.
