i love this picture that david’s mom passed along to me. it was at his aunt’s wedding with his dad and grandma. i think he has got to be the most adorable wee creation there ever was with that little half smirk on his face. he still makes that face…along with many others.
here’s a picture taken of david (with another great facial expression) and his father just under 30 years later at yet another wedding: ours.
i think i loved david long before i would allow myself to admit it; i think that love came in form of a song shortly after meeting him and having our first beautiful heart to heart discussion about something real. it was the only time i had ever written a song that wasn’t full of angst and/or anger and/or sorrow about and for a boy. i felt so inspired that he was someone full of determination, motivation, integrity, and lived by his truth as honestly as he possibly could.
here’s his song:
i hope there are plenty more to come 
Love, love, love it. Love the post, love the song, love you! I love seeing this happy, loving side to you. Not that I haven’t before, but it’s like you said about writing the first non-sad/angsty song. So glad to see sweet, beautiful moments with you and David.
I still remember the first time you shared this song with me. I was crying. I love all your musics and inspirations. Yeah, this song shares a mystery and hope that I love hearing from you. Also, everything about that photo of little David and his dad is perfect! Besos.
BEAUTIFUL! My gosh woman you are talented! I love this song and I love your beautiful shares. I just love you! SO much! missing you often.
so beautiful jess…i miss hearing your sweet voice…love you!
How did I miss this post? So intimate and wonderful, the thoughts you shared. And of course the song is beautiful and powerful. I love you. I love you + David.
