I Miss

Today marks 2 years that you left us.  Hard to believe that is has been that long. Seems like yesterday in some ways and in other ways it seems longer.  To not hear your voice or see your face for 2 years is unthinkable.  Even when you moved to Colorado, we at least got to here your voice now and then.  I did hear your voice in a dream I had of you.  I don't have many but in this one, you called me and said "Hi Mom", like you always did.  I miss hearing you call me "Mudder" when you wanted something, especially to eat. I miss you telling me "5 more minutes", when you needed a bit more sleep. I miss you greeting the dogs at the back door when you came home from work with "Hi pups".  They were all always so happy to see you.  I miss when you would make them all howl...because you would howl!!! Those are only a few things that I miss.  There are not enough words in the english language to say all the things I miss.

On Facebook, I made an event to honor you.  People didn't have to go anywhere, just think of you.  Here is what is said:

Sept 24, 2012 will be 2 years that Davey has been gone from sight but not from our hearts nor memories. On this day please take some time to remember that he LIVED!! Release a balloon, light a candle, say a prayer or just take a moment to think of a memory that you have of him. Something funny (I know there are alot of those), a place that you went with him, something he said or did...anything. Post here if you can so that we all can share your memory. If you don't want to post, that's ok, just REMEMBER DAVEY on this day!!!

122 People responded and said they would!!!!  How awesome is that?? People as far away as Tennessee, Kansas City, Illinois and even good ole Las Vegas were thinking about you. You are loved beyond words Davey and missed more than you could ever know.  You touched so many people in ways that you never knew. You have also touched many people that never even knew you, by stories that they hear about you.  I wish you were here to know all of this, but that is not God's plan.  I wish we were able to understand his plan and it may make this all a bit easier, but God wants it this way.  We have to trust our faith...but it is hard at times.  I am trying......

My beautiful boy. I love you. Love Mom

One of the "Pack"

From Brad LaClair on Facebook:
 
So its been two years that one of the "Pack" has been gone. Gone from this world but not from our hearts. He will always live inside of us until we meet again in our next life. It feels like it was yesterday but at the same time it feels like it was a lifetime ago. He was everyone's best friend. We all got to have a piece of his friendship, a friendship in which will last forever, a friendship th...
at everyone will cherish forever, a friendship in which no body else could replace. He was an awesome person and I know my life is awesome because I got to know and be friends with him. I got to see how awesome and yet stubborn he was, how caring he was, how honest and true he was. He was a genuine person, a genuine friend, a person I wish to be like one day. Well all love you Davey Chavez.
THE PACK

WHY BOTHER???

Dave,
This year for Labor Day we made homemade ice cream.  We haven't wanted to do much since you have been gone but we decided that Labor Day we would make ice cream because Rae had never had it before.  Needless to say SHE LOVED IT and asked for more!!  We did have peaches for her but we also has Hershey's chocolate syrup!!  Yes I said Hershey's.  We will never forget the year that Autumn bought the store brand and all you could say was "why bother"!!!  Miss you so much son and wish you had been here to enjoy the ice cream.  Mom
