I will never forget my son in law David. He was like a son to me. He would take me to doctor visits, do things around my house for me.Never was talking to David there ws a time when i felt we simply shared idle conversation, but rather talking with David always left me with a feeling of having shared something real. I am blessed to have had David for a son in law.
