Lots and lots! Running to your house to play video games and do comic book stuff in 6th grade and not being able to keep up with you. One on one b-ball after school at your house...oh.. the fouls I would commit to stop your layups! Oh yeah, then there was your room in the basement. Just hangin out as you would play Nirvana songs on your guitar. Always hooking me up with food to! Wish I had not parted my way Senior year because I was too into.....you know. I think about you many days. You were a good friend.
I woke up this morning, and thought of you Davey...I think of you often...Such a handsome, friendly, outgoing young man I watched you grow into. You were not only a big brother to Mimi and Rick...you were a very special "big bro" to my kids as well. Always taking time for them...so patient when we came over, no matter what you were doing, teaching them sports and impressing them with your crazy flips into the pool :)
Your time here was too short, so many things you had yet to experience. You are frozen in my memory as a vibrant 23 year old with the world at his feet. While you were here, I know you were happy and loved, your family was so supportive and so proud of you. I loved bringing my kids to the cookouts and parties, your mom was so good at making special days memorable and I know she has the photos to bring those days back to mind with a smile.
I sat with your mom at a few games, but I know she was there for every one, usually filming and taking pictures...so so proud of you, and with every right you were such a natural athlete. Dominic reminds me of you often, so confident and the girls love him, just like they did you ;)
I loved seeing you driving around town in your hot rod's...and even the Crystal truck...such a sweetie, you would always beep and wave or even stop get out and give me a hug...Even now sometimes on a sunny day...I will see a young man..in an old blue car, top down, smiling, and think of you and smile...
Your time here was brief, but you left impressions on peoples lives that will live on with them forever...You were a very special person, and I will be thankful I had the chance to know you and my children were able to share Mel, Mimi and Rick's brother...and were always welcomed like we were part of the family.
When I think of you, I think of baby blue..I never wore blue in my life before we lost you, but...since you have been gone I will often buy/wear baby blue, and it reminds me of you...silly? maybe...
I hope you are in a better place, keeping an eye on your family, and the rest of us who loved you so much...5 years...it's so wrong that you are gone, I see your smiling face in my head like it was yesterday....I will never forget you Davey...
fighting all the time..hugging all the time. being my best friend. the one friend i was sure id have forever. breaking your model cars growing up. letting each other in in the middle of the nite so mom and dad wouldnt catch us. sleeping on each others couches when we finally both had our own places. trash day at my apt...cuz it was the boys job. always having my lil but 'big' brother to look out for me. u threatening guys who hurt me. u always being my biggest fan and most avid supporter. u told me id be a great artist someday. u were so proud of me. im so sorry i couldnt protect you. i miss you so so much. love you always and forever
Some memories i have...playing Tony Hawk in your room, wiffleball games, go-carting at the reservoir, you talking me into being on the track team, late night trip to Bickford's when none of us had money. going to your family cookouts, working at Crystal Sprinklers, going to eat at Townhouse of Pizza, riding our bikes to Stone Park, Playing asshole in Owen's basement, driving around in your Mustang, driving around in your Cutlass, driving around in my Escort, listening to DMX, writing to you from Iraq, 3-point shootouts, and never once being bored.
football games next to Detoma's...soccer games with the girls...trying to beat you and failing in basketball or anything else for that matter...fireworks at the cliffs...parties at the rock...the island...the treehouse...trips to hampton...fighting with josh...track and the crazy guy on the bike...chillin at the shop...trips to UMass...and just doing nothing...
Little league to college, and everything in between. 1-on-1 until it got dark, and then until it really got dark; digging holes all day, then hanging out all night; getting in trouble; trying to stay out of trouble; trying to score on you in street hockey, and occasionally succeeding; beating you for one year of cross country, and having to hear Mr. Cunis say you were going to be better eventually, and knowing he was right; trying to play music in basements; cookouts at your house; backyard homerun derby where you beat me every time; spending more time at your house than mine some weeks; thinking there was nothing cooler than a bedroom in the basement; doing nothing, just growing up with you.
Where to start? Six-second mai-tais, mario cart, spending the night at mel's cause you guys had no heat, naps between classes, sleeping in your driveway, rushing to put your top up before it rained, months worth of garbage because who knew natick charges for trash pick-up, who needs a kitchen table when you've got a beirut table, firing up your new grill indoors ... wow, it's been a long time since everything changed.
the summer time, the apartments, cleaning your kitchen, my car getting "hit" in your driveway, power hour (i lost), salt, homework nights, darts, basement parties, muscles, "whats up hun?" - beruit champ - brackets! hanging as soon as you got home. I will miss you always.
