Long before Aviana knew Dave,
he loved her.
After meeting,
he soon gained her trust.
From then on... they were inseparable.
Dave was enamored by his little.
If they weren't watching basketball or a show about woolly mammoths,
they were making up their own games.
Then nine years ago today, life changed. We changed.
But the love did not, and only grew.
Our roles changed.
And life became more about survival,
therapy,
and quality.
With deeper meaning,
perspective,
and appreciation.
Even if only for a small amount of time, I'm grateful to have seen Dave with Aviana. Through our best and most challenging days, he rose and shined for our girl. I'll forever love and respect his devotion to Aviana, Kama, Rainey, my family, and me.
To dads who are here and those who've lost - my love today and always.
And to my dad and Gary...
♥️
