David, I genuinely cannot believe I’m making a comment on your obituary. I don’t think I’ll ever accept this for as long as I’m alive. You were the first person I loved. My first for absolutely everything in my life. I was 28 days into being 16 when we met. You were my first valentine. You were my first love. I remember the week you went to PA in April of 2012 and came back extremely excited to ask me to be your girlfriend. From that point on, we have saw each other through anything and everything. You saw me through losing my grandma, you showed me a whole other state (PA) and gave me a place to call home. You showed me trails, waterfalls, how to step on the rocks so we can sit on the creek together, took me to waldameer where we watched the sunset. We used to get subway, split it and eat it at the creek. We used to ride your dirtbike everywhere and I was always so scared hahahaha but it was so fun. We had classes together, took ourselves out of school and onto virtual because we just couldn’t separate for five minutes. David I could go on and on and on about our life together. Remember how I got our date tattooed?! Man lol. I loved you so much. And I don’t think it ever stopped. You have and will always have my heart. And everyone knows that. I have never loved the same. I’m genuinely so happy that you and I had the relationship we did because you were happy. You did what you wanted, when you wanted to and I’m so happy you did. You lived every minute to it’s fullest and you were loved. I just want to constantly share our memories and our relationship to the world. We spent so much time together that people still brought you up to me over the last few years. I loved you hard enough for it to follow me for 10 more years. And I’m okay with that. I’m okay with people seeing me when they see you, and vice versa. I just cannot accept that you of all people left this earth. Even if it wasn’t with me, I wanted to see you have a family and grow into a super old man. I hope you’re extremely happy and blissful with where you are. And I hope that you know how loved you are. I promise I’ll never go a day without thinking about you.
I’m so sorry to your family. May they always know there’s a safe space with me if they need a friend. David, you just deserved more time. More time to be the happiest person I’ve ever met. I love you and may you rest in sweet heavenly peace.
