I really got to thinking about how little Davy was... So I compared him and me. He was. 5'3". About 120 lbs..... i' m 5'2". And about 130 give or take a pound or two... So...He was only an inch taller than me and 10 lbs. Lighter... He was quite small, I never really thought about it till today... Quite small and unbelievably gorgeous 🥰
