I can't believe that four years have gone by since D (Derrick's dad and one of his best friends) left this earthly life. In some ways it seems like life has crawled. So many things have happened since, that it sometimes seems like decades have passed. There are so many fun memories of D. Not only ones in which I was a part but also of memories and stories relived over and over at family get togethers. Memories that ranged from his childhood until he passed away. I love how he was always interested in what Derrick and his other children were doing. He was Derrick's listening ear when it came to talk about all things sports related. They often enjoyed trips to Dodger games and U of A games together. D immediately made me feel welcome in the Palmer home when Derrick and I were dating. He never stopped putting forth an effort to make me feel included. I miss card games, movies, and walks on Sundays with D. I miss his humor and even his evident irritation over little things. D was a fighter and never gave up hope. We will forever love him and miss him.
