National Bereaved Parents Day 2023
Andrew, Anne and David

I would like to finish with a poem Katie Dave’s youngest sister wrote on what would have been Dave’s 28th birthday
Think of me:
Think of me eternal, a wise and loving spirit, a guide to lead you, holding your hands on days like today just as you held mine through the years.
My voice is your voice, I have gone nowhere, beside you every day but beyond life’s turmoil.
Remember me the child, a prankster and collector, the long-haired teen headphones on and head in the fridge.
Political agitator in adulthood, an artist in wit, schooling you and the world in my message.
So today and always let the love we share sustain you, allow yourself to laugh and cry and think of us, eternal.
