MinInMission
Living, and working, in Mission. Currently working on my very old 13' Trillium, which will look significantly different when I am done. Working on my fly fishing and trying to improve my "idle beach bum" skills. I have been blessed with an "Awesome Lady" for a life partner and we are very fortunate to be able to live the way we do. Hard work, common sense.

Well it has been over a year since Dad passed away.
Took Mom out to the Cemetery to say "hello". Left a branch off of a rose (one that had been given to them on their fiftieth anniversary), one of his favourite hard candies, and a couple of flies.
Was a beautiful day, had lunch at the Chilliwack airport, overall a nice drive and a nice outing for Mom, "Awesome Lady", and I.

Don't know why, but, just working away in the shop this morning and my Dad popped into my head.
A bunch of old memories, times we spent together, times we got along, times we didn't.
He has been gone less than a year. I still get saddened when I think of him. So many opportunities that were missed. Mostly all my own fault.
He was a great guy. Not much education, just common sense and the desire to try and improve.
Definitely one of the "Heroes of the Country"

I hadn't seen the girls for several years, but, I had the chance at Mom's place last weekend.
Tessa brought Nicole (her younger sister) and her baby, Fiona, out for a visit.
Kind of cool to see my Mom holding her great-grandchild.
And "Awesome Lady"
The two girls, Nicole is holding Fiona, Tessa is the young lady in black
Their mother has passed away. A work accident involving a helicopter crash.
As a very young lady, Tessa had to make the decision regarding the life support. There had been significant brain damage and the prognosis was very, very bad. A difficult decision that she dealt with better than most of the people that I know.
Over the years, I would be willing to wager that not a single day goes past without them crossing my mind.
