David

David Willis, my beloved friend and mentor, died on April 18th, 2008.

One year ago, George bought a red rose for me and a white rose for David.  My rose, like all roses, withered and fell apart within a couple weeks.  On May 8th, this is what David's rose looked like.

I have no idea how it happened, but all the petals stayed perfectly intact.  It looks like this today.

It's been four years, and I still wish he'd come back.
