Its amazing how time runs by. The sands topple, the bottle breaks. Minds jam, lives touch and separate. A year ago I said goodbye to the DaveR. I still look at his picture on his cancer blog every so often. I remember his goodness and badness. In truth, we are all made of sublime parts of each and bounded by the immortal essence that none of us really know.
If there was one word for him, it would be “unique”. There truly was no one quite like him and I think that mold that was so carefully poured was smashed to the floor after because no one could ever do it justice.
Most of all, in retrospect; I’d like to say again “I miss you DaveR”. You were a friend, a person that only touched my life for less than a year. But in many and most regards, you became more than many people I have known for decades that I would count as friends. I treasure the discussions we had and I still hear your strident voice calling to me every morning as I drove the San Mateo Bridge. Then I would sometimes dread the call for the first 10 seconds. But soon it would all come back to me and we would laugh or get mad at the inanities of our work place and out of clue management team.
Its been a year DaveR. I think you would approve of what I have gone on and done. I am going to go to Gordon Biersch one day soon and toast you. I still miss you but its gotten easier. Thanks for giving me that small piece of yourself that I got.
You da man!
