David is my best friend. And I say is because he’s still the one person that knows everything about me – good and bad. He’s still the one person I want to call when things go wrong, the one person I want to get advice from when I have decisions to make, and the one person I want a hug from when my heart is heavy. 

This week I really needed my best friend. I had things to do, decisions to make, flights to book, bills to pay, cars to fix… you know the drill. But all I reaaaaallly wanted was my other half; to hear David say that it all didn’t matter. I wanted him to say he’ll be home with a movie and a quart of ice cream and I wanted to see him smile. Sometimes I get so consumed by wanting that I can’t feel his love.

Today, in the midst of all my wanting I forced myself to see all that I have of David and what I could look forward to. I have memories. I have letters. I have his love. I have God. David always said, “Its simple. Faith, Hope and Love.” So today… I want hope. To get through… I have faith in the hope his love will bring.
