This is a very special picture to me.
David's Auntie Ellen gave Ollie Owl to David, when he was 5 yrs of age.
At that time Ollie had
a special spot in his room with his other
stuffed toys, shortly after David's diagnosis and David was aware that
he was very seriously
ill and the Doctors were doing everything
they could, David took a special interest in Ollie. You would see
him carrying Ollie all over,
taking him to school, everywhere. One
day, David asked me if I would make something that said "MY BEST FRIEND"
for Ollie. I
made a red heart, in gold paint, put
MY BEST FRIEND, in necklace like fashion, put it on Ollie. David
just beamed. Ollie was
David's soul mate for most of his illness
and was his constant companion 'til his death.
