In a recent interview, which lorms kindly translated (click here to read it), Eula said that David was afraid we would move on without him.
What I have to say about that is yes, I am going to move on. Two years is a long time, and as much as I love David, I can’t sit here, waiting for him without doing anything else. That simply wouldn’t be fair to my family, friends, or myself, for that matter. Whether or not David is here, I still have things to do, and a life to live. It will be more difficult to do those things without David to cheer me up at the end of a long day, but I have to do it for myself.
While David is getting these next two years, it is also a gift to us. Each moment is precious, and time moves on, whether we like it or not. Some of us who are in high school now will have graduated by the time he comes back, and all of us will have grown older; wiser, as David will, too. We all know he is going to change whilst he’s away, and even though I’m not ready to say goodbye to the David we know now, I am looking forward to getting to know the new David, and also the person I will be in two years’ time. He’s going to come back a better person, and I would like to do that to; move on, and improve myself. Only then, will I be able to look David in the eyes when I see him next.
He has impacted my life a lot, and I couldn’t stop the plethora of emotions I feel for him, even if I wanted to. There’s no stopping my support for him, or how much I want to hear more of his music.
So, let me rephrase my earlier statement. I am going to move on during these next two years, but when he comes back, I will be right here waiting. I may not be quite the same person I am now before he leaves, and I probably won’t be doing the same things, but if there I one thing that will never change for this Archie, spare to grow, it is my love, and support for David.
Thank you for helping me find the picture, Doc!

Thanks for your article Ally!

Hi Ally!
Your thoughts were very heartfelt. I think David has helped us all grow and change in so many wonderful ways. But as happens , like when our children leave the nest, we must not sit, wondering what we are going to do for the rest of our lives. We must ” recreate” the life we once knew. However, when they come home we will greet them lovingly with open arms and continue support them however we can. It may not feel quite the same, but it will be our chance to keep growing, keep learning and keep loving. The memories we shared are stored for a lifetime. New ones will be made to add to them, but they will never be replaced. There is such happiness in seeing someone you love grow….and become their own person.
That’s what I will do when David leaves…and what I will do when he comes home.
While I wait….I will use the life lessons I have learned from watching David to enhance my own. I will continue to pray for him on his journey and respect who he is and whatever decisions he makes in his life.
Even though David is not my family…he is a very special person to me, and my love and support for him will always be here…..God willing, so will I.

Hello!
Thank you very much for the comment. You’re right when you said he has taught us life lessons… He’s taught me to be positive, and has also given me so much inspiration. These past 4 years certainly have been enough to tide us through the next two years, and he isn’t done yet. And yes, he may not be part of our family through blood, but he’s very special to us. <3 He’s in my prayers every day, and I’ll continue to keep him there.

Hi Ally….
Your words express what we all are feeling now I think. David will be taking a little piece of our hearts with him. We have to go on living…moving forward…but he still will be with us in our hearts , thoughts , actions and prayers. We won’t be moving away from him. When he returns….so will that missing piece of our hearts.
Once David has touched your life in some way…he will never be forgotten or replaced.
Thank you for expressing yourself so beautifully Ally! It does help to express our feelings doesn’t it!

I agree with you also but the thing you said about having to do without David cheering you up at the end of the day is not entirely true. Sure there won’t be new stuff no where near as often as we’re used to but there plenty of ways to still get our David fix. It kind of annoys me that lots you guys are acting like David is just going to vanish for the next two years and I don’t feel that. I guress I just want to feel a connection with him as often as I still can. We don’t know for sure what we’ll get the next two years but we could have some interesting things come our way. Don’t get me wrong I plan to move on to some other stuff also but I still want to keep tabs on David from time to time. Have a good day all.

Hi Lucy!! I will not be shutting off the computer—never to return for two years. I will also be watching and waiting to hear something from or about David. I don’t think he will vanish either. I will be checking daily to see if we have any updates. However, I don’t envision that we are going to have the same connection we have had. That is a good thing for David.
This is a very special time for him to focus his heart in a different direction. He will still be reaching out to others, flashing his smile and helping them enrich their lives. That is a great comfort to me. He does that so well. I think any time he does get to share….his family and friends should come first.
No matter what happens during the next two years, …I am a fan of David’s forever.
I will , however, try to move my life forwqrd in a positive direction also. He might be gone…but he will never be forgotten. I am pretty sure most fans feel this way. He is leaving us so many gifts.
He needs his space now for his new journey….and even though I will miss him…I am happy for him.

Lucy – thank you for your comment. Of course I’ll still be keeping in touch with what David is doing, and he has said he’s not going to just vanish, so I’m not worried about that. I’ll be here when he comes back, and throughout the time he leaves as well.
Behind the Scenes – definitely fans forever. He has captured our hearts, and we’ll always support him.

Ally, wow, such a heartfelt words. I’m still there, silently supporting David in all of his endeavors. Though time keeps moving and the world keeps changing, I’m still wonderful that I came to know David for who he is and I think he a beautiful person in and out. That being said, I’m still here silently supporting him in the two years he’ll be “away” from the spotlight.
And in silence, I’m still wishing him all the best in whatever challenges he is going to face.
