Seven Years Already


Seven years you've been gone now, and it likely goes without saying that we still all miss you and think of you. Everyday.

It's funny how time passes and things become "normal." I know it's "normal" that you are not here anymore, during times that you should have been, but it doesn't mean it feels right. It's a process I guess, one of forced acceptance but with a sincere desire to do anything possible to change it while knowing there is nothing to be done. I think the only real word for it is "unfair."

Wesley graduated from High School - was accepted into three universities! Raven finished Grade 10 with Honours with Distinction! Geoff and Giselle had a baby boy, Isak. He's so lovely! I know you would love him. Duncan and I had our 7th wedding anniversary. All these things you should be here for to celebrate with us - and maybe since we hold you close in our hearts you are.

I don't know what else to do... Except to try to dream of you. And wonder if you're dreaming too... Wherever you are...

Peek A Boo

I totally see you in her more and more every day now. I guess there is something to be said for family resemblance! But I am struck by how much she looks like you at times. I think if I had ever dressed you up like a girl, this must be what you would have looked liked!
