Thank You Barb
Today something very special happened to me. I received a package from Barb. She is the mother of my friend who passed away almost two years ago. One thing she gave me is a hat from when he played hockey, with pins on it. I remember going to a lot of his games in Port Dover. I really enjoyed going and watching him play. I looked up to Doug when it came to his athletic ability and social ability. Doug was a big part of my life when I was younger. And one of the regrets that I will have to life with is that we grow apart. I tried to get together with him less than a month before he died. But our lives where to busy and we could not find anytime. In the package I also received a ring he loves to wear. I have decided to wear it to help remind me of what I admired about him. I feel this will help me now as I work towards before bore physically active. I know Doug is now in heaven watching over all him family and friends. Also I received a letter from Barb. If I was to describe Barb I would have to describe her as my Mother. When I read the letter I was getting all choked up. I had to stop and start reading the letter three times. By I very much appreciate what she said, it means a lot to me. If there is one thing I could let people know, that you don’t know if you will be around tomorrow, or if your love ones with be. So treasure everyday and never wait till tomorrow.

Corey,
i know exactly how it feels to lose a best friend....as you know my best friend died 3 years ago....It leaves a scar on your soul...and you will always love that person.
I miss Karen fiercely, and i know she will always be in my heart and a part of who I am..."remember the good times" is the advice people give, but remembering hurts too...but even though it hurts...the pain fades, the memories will stay.
You may have regrets about the time apart and not getting to see him before he died...but he knows you love him. I'm sure that he knows and can feel the love you feel for him. Never forget that that. just because you can't see him doesn't mean he's not there-watching over you.
