Marching to....

2010-  We went to a second Admirals game.  The Oscar's were in March.  One night Dave went to the kitchen and I heard a loud noise.  He had fallen and had a low blood pressure.  I had to bandage one of his knees.  The next day we went out to eat with the Maki's.  The food was too rich for him... he loved to eat so much, it's sad to read about when he didn't enjoy food.

2011-  Remembering Dave cooking corned beef and cabbage on a fire in 2010.  And I started getting estimates on new windows.


So, last weekend I went to Czar's.  I met a friend of ours, Jason, who came into town from Elkhart.  It still takes my breath away to see Dave when I walk in the door.  And now there's new carpet and dance floor.  It's looking a lot better.  It was great to catch up with Jason and see other great friends (family) of Dave's....PK, Jennie, Beth, Jamie, Michael and many more.  Two things really hit me.  1- Going there feels like visiting Dave's other family and I'm "protected" and watched over.  That's very comforting.  2- I met up with a friend of Dave's I got reintroduced to and he said...I met you before about 5 years ago.  I couldn't remember!!!!!!  He said "it was years ago".  I thought about how dark it is in there, but somehow I do remember Dave introducing me to him today,  I still can't remember his name.  I feel bad that I didn't spend more time with this "other family" of Dave's.  There really was no excuse and I missed out on a lot.  Now, I really need to keep in touch.

peace, love, groove
