Regrets

The Only and the Already

August 25, 2018 by Bryan Martin Leave a Comment

There are minutes, hours, days that seem to fly by while seconds seem to drag on forever. It has only and already been 4 months since Tin has passed – only and already. For those that don’t lose their “person”, it is hard to explain that time’s guidelines begin to bend in ways we never knew. Good days go fast. Bad days go slow. Yet the next…

Beginning of the End

September 5, 2017 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

I am 36 years old.  Soon to be 37.  Although I’ve held the titles of Marine (6 years), Lifeguard (3 years), Father (10 years), Widower (3 years), Husband (9 years), Boyfriend (9 years, cumulatively), and Student (13 years…I never went to college), the title that has been with me the longest, up to this day, is “Employee” (21 years). I…

Sorry Too Late

August 24, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

You know that feeling when you walk into a store and see something your beloved late spouse would have liked and for a brief moment, you think, I should get that for him…and then you remember, he’s not here anymore.   I went into Costco this week to pick up a few things, and that happened…again. I saw a pair of shorts he would have loved.

Trip Down Memory Lane

August 7, 2017 by Wendy Saint-Onge Leave a Comment

This week my daughter and I caught the ferry over to The Sunshine Coast in southern BC and toured Gibsons and Sechelt. Gibsons was home to the filming of the television show “The Beachcombers” from 1972 to 1990.  It was also the first hometown to Wendy and Ben from 1993 to 1997.  It’s where we lived when we got married, it’s where we…

His Heart and Mine

June 22, 2017 by Stephanie Vendrell Leave a Comment

For anyone new to this blog, my husband Mike died in 2013 of a heart attack in his sleep. Finding him the next morning is a horrific memory I will carry with me always.   He had heart problems, to be sure, but I didn’t really know the extent of it. I’m not sure whether he did either. He hated doctors and hospitals, and I often wonder if he had…

The Simple Life

March 7, 2016 by Mike Welker Leave a Comment

My wife suffered from a long-term illness, Cystic Fibrosis.  When I say “long-term”, what I actually mean is “life-long”.  There wasn’t a day that I knew her where she didn’t have some sort of symptom or complication directly due to her condition.  Even after her transplant, every day was filled with special medications, dietary and…
