I feel Dave had the best outcome in life: the ability to love no matter what, to live through tough times and to have a loving wife and child. Just reading his books make me feel like I'm witnessing the action that goes on, and they are very heart felt. I've tried not to cry during each time I read his books, but each time I fail. They are so personal and true and I am pleased to hear he is doing just fine after all that has happened. He's like a role-model to me. That is why for every book report I have done, I have done on him.
