I could have found a more flattering picture of David but this one sums him up!
During the refurbishment, he never stopped - always up early calcuating the figures & then out with the boys on the job - organising, coordinating, instructing, getting stuck in, shouting & of course joking.
Over the last year, David has continued to work hard - forgetting at times that he is not as young as he used to be. Due to stress, pressure & an unrelenting ability to always push himself that little bit harder & faster - something had to give. Thankfully for his family, friends, work mates & himself, the recent reality check that could have been life threatening, has hopefully now pushed him to slow down.
David should be out of hospital soon - with medication & strong words to take it easy! Anyone who knows David will be reading this & thinking...'he'll never slow down' OR 'you're a brave one to tell him what to do'! Well, I think David of all people now realises that life is for living & we need him around to keep us all in check...& me in cheque book!
Love you Dad - now enough of the sentimental stuff - get better & get yourself back up here where you belong as we are all missing you!
