Dave has really been on my mind. Next month hits the seven year mark of his disappearing. It's hard to believe that it's been that long. I often wonder how he's doing, what he's doing, where he's at. It's amazing how fast seven years can fly. That first year was the longest year of my life. The second was quicker and now they just fly right by! I wonder if that has happened for Dave. One thing I'm thankful for is the help of my Father, the assurance that in the end all will be as it should be, whatever that may be. We do hope that one day Dave will show up. That we'll know some closure. That we'll get the assurance that he's okay. I'm often asked about what my reaction will be. To be completely honest I have no clue. I'm sure there will be hurt and maybe some anger but I can say at this point that the anger hasn't been there. After all, we don't know his side. I suspect some things but that's it.
When all is said and done it has allowed us to understand more of what others go through. We had a pretty protected life. Life experiences allow us to grow and be more compassionate no matter how old we are. And I'm on to another life experience. :( I'll cover that in my next blog post.
If you see this Dave, we think of you often and hope that you're doing okay. You'll know when the time is right to come back into our lives. Please follow that feeling and don't think any of us will turn our back on you! That WON'T happen.
