Having been David’s daughter for almost 48 years, I could share a million memories, but I want to share with you the Dad I knew. Dad was smart as a whip, had a wicked sense of humor and could turn anything into a song. He was a hard worker who provided above and beyond for his family. Dad loved spending private time with our Lord and more times than I could count, I would watch him set out with is Bible on a hike on the mountain we lived on to spend quality time with our Savior. Dad taught me to fish, swim and to have the mettle to get on with life no matter the circumstances. One of my favorite memories of Dad was when we would go flea marketing on Saturday’s. We would gallivant through the mountains letting the day take us where it would. Dad suffered from Alzheimer’s over the past two and a half years, but he always knew who I was when I would visit and in all that time, he only mentioned one memory of me and my childhood. The memory he shared was of us flea marketing on Saturdays and it was so precious to me because on that day, in that moment, he remembered.
