Around 7:27 April 2, I was doing my normal thing up with my husband's youngest grand daughter waiting for the bus for PRE K, there was a knock at the door, Two officers were outside they handed me this piece of paper I said OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG when officers come to your do it is never good they are only there for one thing, I said as I looked down at the paper OH MY GOD WHAT IS IT??!! they said I had to call the number I saw it was 215 my father and son lived in that area code I said what is it they said they couldn't tell me anything and I had to call the number I called and it was the township where my father and son lived I said my father and son live in levittwon in eldeberry section the officer said there was a earlier morning fire I thought OK dad is gone we be braced for him to go but then the officer said David is dead I swear I lost my mind for a few minute I could only scream how could this be why how could David die I got control and asked what about my father the officer said he was in the hospital on a ventilator.
I called to my husband but the only way was to go throw a worker I told the worker I had to talk to him not thinking he was coming from SC I said there is a emergency I called to my husbands daughter she was a hour away I told her she needs to get the kids and I have to go to PA and I told her what happened I called the worker again and explained what happened and told him I am gone and to Tell my husband I packed long sleeved shirts pants shorts no tees no under wear no socks and off I went.
My husband called and said are you sure David is gone I said it is no joke thinking he thought it was a late April fools joke that would be sick if it was but I told him two officers was at my door and it is real I told him I had to go. I hung up he called a little while later he said we have to think about this and to turn around I was not going to turn around I was having to get to PA. He wanted me to turn around because my sister was going to put both of us on a airplane and fly us but there was no way I was gonna turn around I didn't know this but it didn;t matter I was gone and nothing was gonna get me to turn around it take me 12 hours to get to PA from where I live in NC I go the speed limit but on this trip I was going 80 and cops were swarming.
I got to PA and stayed with a friend two night but her house smelled of pee her dogs go to the bathroom in the house and I had a headache so I spent the rest of the time with my Auntie Claire, I would be gone all day and return at night I didn't want to dray my one friend around this was to be done by my sister and I anyhow the second night I was on her computer but failed to get on to AOL and shut it down I told her only family would be at graveside and she got angry she called my cell phone and said I put a knife in her heart and twisted and the friendship is over BECAUSE SHE COULDN"T GO TO GRAVESIDE, I have known her since 6Th grade and we had a fight long ago I was able to forgive her but I didn't speak to her for 6 year.
I was in a restaurant and I called to my sister to see how dad was I had to fight with my sister to take dad of the ventilator that he didn't want this and the papers he had said this anyhow in the mean time before my husband came out she had called to NC to my husband crying she can't go to the graveside. When I called to tell her my father had passed my husband was out and I told her I was very mad with her crying to Terry My husband she could go tom graveside. She was not family. when we got home after putting my son and father in the ground she had two messages about the same the knife her heart and not to call write or email, I emailed her once because this girl can't leave things alone I told her in the email not to do what she did the last time hang up calls my father didn't press charges but I will and to just stay silent she then called a friend of mine tell him all this and he called me to tell me she was calling him I told him watch out for letters but so far so good.
She ended this friendship because she didnt'get her way she had been painting a picture for my son of wolves but she HAD TO WRITE ON IT I find this in bad taste why I think it is
"look what I am giving him I did this she wrote on a crazy 8 ball to I chucked both in the trash I think if you are to put something in with a loved one friend or...you don't write on it it is good enough YOU know it is from you nothing more. She also had to get her butt down to my father's house to get on camera it is a shame she had to use this to get her 15 minutes of fame.
The neighborhood came together for my son they raised $800. for him and had it in the David McCardle memorial fund I am so proud of the kids there he was a big brother to the girl across the street and had some friend he was close with I wish I could help them with the grief and angry but I have my days of trying to deal with it I have days I cry all day and then other days I am OK.
MY son David was found in the bathroom he had smoke and soot in his lungs as did my father my son was good he is what every parent would want in a son (no offense out her trying to explain how he was) he would watch out for the neighbors hep with trash or groceries play with the kids in the neighborhood and buy game for the girl across the street or rent them for her he would sit and play the game with her for hours she is taking it hard as the whole neighborhood is still in shock.
My son was also mentally challenged but in the slightest degree he had diabetes I thought this was going to be complication of this that would kill him I was to go get him the 15Th of April I heard from him the night before the fire about 8 or 9 and he asked why I can't come get him sooner I asked my self this many times over I told him after the next weekend I can come get him he had enough of dad and ready to leave. When my father was in the hospital we dreaded to tell Dad he was gone but I released my father and told him it is OK to go (die) all is OK and we will not be mad and if he wants to stay it is OK to but don't stay if you want to go. I had left the hospital and my sister said he was to go she didn't let me tell him David was gone but she told him David was waiting for him and he died I think he was waiting for us to tell him David was waiting for him he might of thought this but hoped it was not so my sister said David is calling him "POPS come on the bus is leaving) maybe.
Few night ago I think David was her there was a orange light and the kids bedroom I didn't realize what it was till I thought what is that I took one step in the bathroom and back uped but it was gone David like fire and dragons and dogs I think this was David it was orange what I hear people say white light who ever saw ORANGE it was David he and I didn't beat the drum the same as others do.

My son
He had gained a lot of weight but this is the best we could find he was my best friend we could talk of anything it was not like we were mother and son but close friends.
The pain is hard to bare and yes I have thought of ending my life to be with him fret not when I was 15 I tried to kill myself for being teased and beaten by my mother and my father telling me I am stupid a idiot and dumb and my sister thought I was to be beat up I got teased in school and had a few fights but I had it but I couldn't do it my life was spared it was spared to meet my husband and to do things I did after that I helped many and if it wasn't for me then who would of been there to help them no one?? maybe. My life is spared and even though I may feel like this I know it is not time for my life to end if it was David would of told me it was.
I told David not to be afraid to die when you number is up it is up and no matter where you are it is up and my son's number came up. My Father if he came to he would of had a heart attack when told David was gone I think David died because Dad couldn't live without David and they were meant to die like this. I would of took the stuff from day after a few days and he would of died sooner but my sister had to feel she did the right thing and give him the chances to be OK she felt he would be up one morning and be eating jello I told her not to get into the future they will seem to get better and then do a nose dive my sister is not handling this so well but I seen to think they are OK my son was burnt badly and he is to good of a person to be through skin graphs I am glad we didn't have to go through this with him I don't know if I could of handled it.
Well thanks for letting me tell you of this I have my days I still am in shock I am lost without my son never to hear HI MEME or he called everyday I wait for call that will never come I told everyone he is with dad and he loved animals he is the piped piper up there he is walking around and reunited with his dog Storm and all the other animals o the world he is the lucky one in that I wish I could have that.
