Until We Meet Again
August 21, 2007The summer in Quesnel has come and gone and I am not sure if I am ready to go. It goes without saying that the passing of my sister Shelley has overshadowed the entire visit and will now always be part of summer forevermore. The only silver lining on this otherwise very dark cloud is that it has made me appreciate family all the more and I feel it has brought me closer to my mother, father and brother. I have found strength in togetherness but realize now that a person can only grieve alone.
Saying goodbye tomorrow will be so difficult that I can’t even think about it. I am going to miss my family and this place I call home so much because I know that it will never be the same again.
In the days, weeks and months to come I pray for strength for myself and for my parents and especially for Marshall. That poor little boy who is so smart, so wonderful and so mature has had more to deal with than an 8 year old boy should. I rarely say this about people but he is a truly amazing person and if you have met him you know what I mean.
Alice and our boys have not had the summer vacation they were meant to have and I have to find some way to make that up to them. They have dealt with a great deal and I thank them for all the sacrifices they have made.
All I can say now is .. Until We Meet Again.
