Anyone who knew David knew that he loved kids. I have four nieces and a nephew who adored him, too, and couldn’t wait for us to have kids so they could have cousins. Michael, being the only boy with four sisters, put in a special order for a boy cousin or two… or maybe three.
Allan, Cheryl, and the Ms: Remembering Uncle David
I took this photo a year ago — David was lying on the floor, letting the twins crawl all over him.
David flew into Seattle on Christmas Eve and I picked him up at the airport, along with a big suitcase of presents for the five Ms (Melissa, Michael, Madeleine, Megan, and Maribeth). It was chaos at the House of Ms, but David loved every minute of it.
The kids helped David celebrate his 38th birthday in May, which also happens to be my brother’s birthday.
