Tragedy

Time it's a precious thing. We are reminded though various different events. Births, graduations, marriages, birthdays and then....death.

Yesterday I received a massive reminder.

My previous husbands brother and his 6 year old son were taken tragically in a canoe accident with another friend and his son this past weekend.

Conor was so full of life and ambition. He had spunk. He had laughter built into him. He was an honest man who told it how it was. Nothing was sugar coated. He was a prankster and made sure whatever he was doing always included some level of fun.

My heart breaks for his wife and little girl. Lindsay was his other half. I cannot imagine the agony that she must be going through. The pain. 

My boys will miss getting to know their Uncle Conor or Cousin Liam better. 

I thought last night as I was reading the article yet again how just in a blink your path can take such a different turn in yet a fraction of a second. 

Cherish those moments and live to the fullest- I know Conor did that. 


May both Liam and Conor rest peacefully.
