My Stepdad David Blades

This past year had been a rollercoaster of emotions!  I had 4 people very close to me pass away, 2 of them being my fathers. My step dad was one year ago on April 13th.

The picture is my Mom & Dave

My step dad passed away in April 2013, he had been battling cancer. Until I seen what Dave went through, I never realized how awful cancer could be. Dave was very sick and in so much pain, that it was hard to comfort him and tell him anything like “you will be ok” or that there was some medicine that would help him.  

Me and my mom spent months in and out of the hospital being told one day he has days to live, the next he’s getting better, then being told he wouldn’t make it till Christmas, then getting to spend Christmas with him.  There were days when the entire hospital could hear Dave in pain, there were days he was laughing, you never knew what you were going to walk into.There were days I would get calls at work and Dave would tell me he just found out he had cancer…he had lost his memory.  Yet no matter how stressful it was for me, I knew it was harder for mom and Dave then anyone.  Mom did so much for Dave in and out of the hospital, even when Dave was not sick enough for the hospital, he needed round the clock care at home.

My mom never stopped, she stepped up and she was amazing. Dave would tell me often how much he loved mom over his last months and that she was his angel.. But he didn’t need to tell me, I seen how he looked at mom and how mom cared and loved Dave in everything she did.

Dave was so loved by his family and it showed because his family, friends and coworkers all made sure he never spent 1 hour of any day or night alone for almost 2 months. Everyone took turns helping mom when she couldn’t be there. After months of this continuing..my mom was exhausted. I am forever grateful for the people that helped and understood what we were going through.

It was so sad when Dave left but also a relief because Dave was in so much pain.

I think of Dave often. I knew how much he loved me because he told me often. This bear was a gift he got me for my first Christmas with mom. He told me before he died that he wished he had had kids, but that I was also one of the best things to happen to him.

Dave was kind, gentle, loving and a very amazing person. He treated my mom like an angel. Dave never had a mean thing to say about anyone, I only ever heard him speak kind words. Dave treated me like his daughter and I remember him telling mom he wanted to pick out my Christmas gifts from him, not Mom. He wanted it to be special from him. Dave was there for me for many hard times in my life and I never forgot that. When someone was mean to me he would offer to beat them up for me lol but I knew he was joking! Dave understood my constant battle with weight and food as Dave loved food almost as much as I do lol. Step parents have a special place in your heart, Dave was kind and loving to me always! I loved Dave like a father.

Dave asked me to make him something for the nurses that were taking care of him, these keychains said ty 4 caring 🙂 Not many people knew this but Dave asked me to do something special for him before he passed. He wanted to give me his money and buy mom a new computer because their computer was crashing and he wanted to get mom one last special surprise gift. He was giving until the day he died.
