I am heartbroken to have lost a friend today.  Dylan was 10 years old, and had been fighting cancer for 6 years. His dad kept a blog of their journey.  You can read about it at http://dylan.ericdavid.info/.

I don't have any wisdom to offer about this.  It sucks.  He should be here, and his family should not have such a huge hole in their hearts.  He was a fighter and lived much longer than anyone could have expected, but he should have lived forever.  He was Super Dylan.

We played UNO last week and I took some pictures.  For the record, he won, and then made his mom and I play for second and third place.  He did not want to eat his muffin.  He drew a picture and gave it to me with a big hug.  I'm a lucky girl to have been his friend.

You can't take a sneaky picture of that kid.

Probably texting some girl.

I've known Dylan for most of his life, and the pictures I didn't take are the most precious to me.

His brother kissing him good bye before leaving the house

"I drew you a picture."

The most precious picture I never took is from the first time I met Dylan.

Dylan David, 2 or 3 years old, shirtless, his brown belly sticking out,  making his shorts hang low.  His curly hair sticking out in every direction like a lion's mane. Roaring, and running back and forth outside Souplantation.

We will all miss you, kiddo.  Roar.
