In Loving Memory of
David Braziel


David, April 15, 1984 - April 11, 2004 My beautiful son, I miss you terribly but know that you are with me always. You and I have always been like two peas in a pod...you are so much like me but much, much better! You have always been your own person and had the courage to stick to your convictions. I've always worried about you...that people would take advantage of you and your willingness to fight for the underdog but you did what you thought was right no matter what I said and I'm so glad now that you did. You were true to yourself..such wisdom from such a young man. I needed to listen to you more often instead of giving you advice. You were a brave little guy from the beginning. You embraced life with such passion from such an early age. I remember you at about 18 months just running into the surf at the beach with me holding your hand...the wave would knock you over and you would be laughing with glee and would jump right into the surf again – absolutely no fear! Life here was that way for you, I think, and I envy your carpe diem philosophy. I will try to learn from you and live my life more like you did yours here on earth. I know you were not perfect...and you didn't aspire to be but you have always been such a special soul. I and many, many loved ones and friends grieve for our loss of you in this realm although I know in my heart that you are in a wonderful place full of love and light...but I do hope that a sense of humor and laughter is appreciated and enjoyed as I think you still have that special gift to give. I hope to see you in my dreams SOON (I’m sure you know better then me when the time comes for you to do that but I really, really want to see you) and I know we are developing a special, new type of relationship now that you’ve moved on and when my time comes, I will join you! I am not afraid of death now that I know I will be reunited with you. Eventually all of us will be together again! You will always be part of me, David, now and forever. Thank you for all the joy, the tears, the laughter, the wonderful memories, giving meaning and a purpose to my life, and most of all for the love that will never end. Love always and forever,

Momma
