well... i'm home for christmas. when i got home on saturday i was so happy to be in my own house... it's all warm, cozy and decorated for christmas. my happiness was interrupted by some sad news though. cj called to tell me that our friend, dave, passed away in his sleep on friday night. tomorrow we're going to his funeral. i have a mixture of emotions about all of this. dave suffered from cancer for a long time, so i'm happy that he's finally at peace. at the same time i'm going to miss him, and i'm sure his family will as well. words can't really express the kind of person dave was. he was kind, and generous, and funny. he was always concerned about everyone else despite his illness. people went to visit him in an effort to make him feel better, but i think we all ended up feeling better ourselves. he was a special person and will truly be missed...
