Starshine - Mrs. David Reed Hall, Austin, Texas

There is a history of how my name was given to me by my husband, David R. Hall. David is a native Texan, as am I. He and I had been talking on the phone, texting each other, and dating, until one day he could no longer contain himself. He in great love and with long thought bestowed his pet name for me "Starshine". We had talked so many times of the star gazing and the symbols since ancient times of the stars.

I had never been more touched by almost anything with that day. Now, I have all these notes he addressed to me as Starshine that he leaves for work and he'd been quiet letting me sleep in after a long night of him keeping me up.

David Reed Hall works as a therapist at Austin Travis County MHMR.
