David's Story

Wednesday 24th Nov
On the 10th of November our beautiful son quietly slipped from our fingertips- only weeks away from coming home. David was a quiet gentleman that lived a solitary life. Although he suffered a deep dark sadness that no one ever really understood or could help him with, David made so many people smile and laugh. He was a kind and giving soul - his love of animals was as deep as his sadness. For those fortunate enough to have got to know David, will cherish the memories they created with him. Time spent with him was more precious than gold. I learned so much about life through my son's eyes - he taught me to enjoy what you have today because tomorrow is not a given. He taught me that sadness no matter how much you love someone is something that no one else can understand - but it is real -it is life threatening and is a devastating illness that consumes the heart and soul of your loved one. My son filled my life with so many shared moments good and bad but I am forever proud and grateful to have had his love. David would want to be remembered for his love of motor racing football and fishing, his silly quick witted jokes his love of his friends, animals and family but not for the darkness that took his life away. David was always the first one to help someone especially if they were broken down or tormented so please remember just because you don't see it or feel it - it is there it never goes away.

Love You Forever Sonshine
