Chris always loved to hate my puns and we’d share a laugh…ok Max and I usually laughed, he usually groaned and Ingrid asked, ‘Are you mocking me?’. (see Zipline vid for context!)
The poem you see below really did hit home.
It was on a card sent from the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association.
It stopped us in our tracks. Very cool. Nuff said.
His Journey’s Just Begun
Don’t think of him as gone away – his journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets – this earth is only one.
Just think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years
Think how he must be wishing that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness can really pass away.
And think of him as living in the hearts of those he touched…
for nothing loved is ever lost – and he was loved so much.
