"Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget." -G. Randolf

I realize I haven't posted in a bit but this week has been a tough one. We unfortunately received news of the sudden death of our friend, Cam, this week. We were introduced to him through his girlfriend, Sandy, and over the last few years our friendships have truly blossomed with this great couple. I have known Sandy for many years now and our friendship only continued to grow with the introduction of Cam into her life. We have great memories of mountain biking trips with them - especially Matt as he and Cam ended up getting lost together during a bike trip to Jasper but more so we simply enjoyed their company. My heart aches to write this post as the news is still shocking and to be so far away from our friends doesn't help. The last few nights Matt and I have talked about our great times with Cam and I guess it is suppose to be a form of catharsis yet it brings sorrow to our hearts when the reality surfaces again that he is truly gone. We will miss you Cam!! Sandy we love you very much and our thoughts and prays are with you!
Sorry to bring the sadness to the post but we need to recognize those that are important in our lives as it seems our world moves so quickly around us and we sometimes forget those that made us who we are today.
Here are some photos that have seemed to brighten up our days...
Tricked you! This is not Liam but rather his buddy, Gavin, celebrating his 1st birthday.


Liam's slowly losing his chub...but not quite notice that beeer belly.

Enjoying the pool on the +35 day in the 'Wack (yep he jumped in the nude)

Playing with the toothpaste...oral hygiene can never start too early!

Let's hope for a brighter week!

Love,

mo, matt and liam

My condolences, Monique. It is really easy to take good friends for granted, and I hope we all can appreciate our loved ones a little more, without having to go through such difficult times to be reminded of this. Thanks for sharing.
