Happy Victoria Day!
Commemorating Queen Victoria’s Birthday, wishing the best to our Canadian readers!!!! And yes, had to get Niagara Falls in this gif!
Victoria Day (in French: Fête de la Reine) is a federal Canadian public holiday celebrated on the last Monday before May 25, in honour of Queen Victoria’s birthday. The date is also, simultaneously, that on which the current reigning Canadian sovereign’s official birthday is recognized. It is sometimes informally considered as marking the beginning of the summer season in Canada (Pastel’s ed: you BET it is!), analogous to how the timing of the holiday Memorial Day is regarded in the United States.

My David Triad
If you had to put together your own personal time David-related time capsule, and you could only put in one picture, one video and one written message from David, what would you chose?
This is an impossible question to answer, right? We have 5000 pictures, give or take, in our media library. How do you pick one? Or one performance video, interview or vlog? Or one quote? Ridiculous!
But I’m asking it because during this reflecting time, there must be certain things that each of us ponder about more than others. So here is your time to ponder my question a bit and list in comments, or on our FB, or on twitter @FODfansofdavid or on our email account fodfrontpage@gmail.com
A picture.
On David’s only day off in Manila, he chooses to go to meet children at one of his favourite charities. The natural smile while chatting with the children is defining, as well as the cause.

A video.
I didn’t pick a performance video, because it’s just too hard. This is a defining interview for me. Early in the Idol tour, this interviewer didn’t ask about girlfriends, or what Simon was like and how it felt to be Idol runner up. She just let David talk, and talk he did. And we got an early glimpse at his musical leanings. I found this interview laced with moments of innocence, while being profound at the same time.
A thought.
I picked a recent one, that defines David’s commitment. Unwavering.
I picked this excerpt from the liner notes from No Matter How Far.
“This is my thanks to your for everything in the past, present and future. That No Matter How Far, what was in the heart is still here, and will be here when I return.”
If you need any inspiration for taking a moment to select your defining three, here is a vid from Pocoelsy (warning! may give your heartstrings a workout!). Really nicely done @pocoelsy1!

The No Matter How Far CDs are arriving
I know many CDs are not in the hands to the requesters yet, but they are arriving slowing and steadily. Thanks to everyone for your patience. And also arriving are the most wonderful notes from recipients. Cathy shared hers with us:
hello Ms. Cathy, I’m Sekar, the Indonesian girl who you donate NMHF to. I just wanna let you know that the cd finally has come YAY!!
I wanna sy thank you verrrrry much for sending me the cd, I was super happy when my Mom said the cd had arrived (because I wasn’t at home that day). the case is actually crack a bit, but it’s ok cause the cd is safe and sound
once again, thankyou thankyou thankyou very much for giving me the cd. it was so sad to know that NMHF wasn’t sold in Indonesia, but this event helps me to keep in touch with David’s music. so now I can put NMHF in my collection!
thankyou! - Sekar
