Unfortunetly David cannot talk, due to the surgery removing his tongue. That seems to have been the hardest thing for his little girl, loosing that communication with him. He can write to her, though, and I have wanted to suggest he write things for her to read in the future, but I know that will be one of the hardest things he has ever done, and I just haven't been able to mention it yet. I will try to find the strength to do that.
