Hey brother. It has taken me a long time to write this post because, where to start? One week ago today I flew home after spending 17 wonderful days with you and our awesome family. I will be forever grateful to Heather for inviting us. Golfing with you is a memory I will always cherish. It was so nice to sit around and reminisce about growing up on the farm. We were 4 very fortunate kids to have had such an awesome childhood. Playing in the hayloft, riding bikes, sliding, chasing cows, skiing behind the skidoo, Sunday walks, camping, canoeing, swimming in the pool and the list could go on and on. When I think of you as a kid I think of freckles, fearlessness and feistiness. I remember once telling you that if you didn’t learn how to control your temper, you would have to go on medication!! I think I was around 10 and someone at school had just told me about Ritalin 🤣. I have forgiven you for chasing me with that snake.
Being fearless and feisty lead you on some adventures and down some different paths than I had ever travelled. Some good, and some not so good. I was a little jealous of all the traveling you did but, being the older, rule following sister, not very happy with some of the choices you made. You know how incredibly proud I am of you for getting your 💩 together and turning things around. Your fearlessness and feistiness enabled you to prove the doctors wrong when they first found the tumour and I am so thankful for that. The fact that you are still golfing, laughing, and joking shows what a true rock star (and how stubborn) you are. There is so much more I could say but there are just too many things going on in my head. I will say that I am going to miss you and that every time I look at your amazing son, I will think of you. I will remember all the good chats we had on FaceTime. I will think of you when I golf. I will cherish all our childhood memories. I will always be your big sister and I will love you forever.
Nancy
