He was 33, he'd been married just under 3 years. I'd only found out a couple months ago that he had cancer and it wasn't until yesterday morning that I made the time to read his journal on CaringBridge.com. It was an arduous, painful 8-month journey, I messaged him, let him know I was thinking about him, shared a few jokes I remembered about him and at 3:45 pm yesterday, he left this world.
Cancer is a difficult thing to understand. It's indiscriminate, it has no bias and it touches everyone of us in the form of friends and loved ones. I hadn't seen him for years. We went to school together, church, we were in Boy Scouts together and as life goes from there, we lost touch.
Life often has a way of catching us completely off balance, knocking us back and causing us to reflect and that's where I am. Lost for words. Yesterday, this world lost a giant of a man and an example to look up to and heaven was jealous of his homecoming. I have tremendous respect for the life that he chose to live and it's evidenced by the many comments and tributes to him.
Life is a precious gift, live it to the fullest!
Cheers to Davin, eternal freedom
