You know that expression, the elephant in the room?
Today is sort of one of those days.
Many people close to us know that today is 3 months since Chris’ passing.
Many have expressed their awareness and support and many have silently acknowledged that they know.
Yes, it is 3 months to the day. That’s the elephant. It’s ok to say.
In three short months we’ve (that’s all of us) built a fund at SFU that will live forever in Chris’ name.
In three short months we’ve all aimed to Be The Best! in some personal endevour.
In three short months we’ve all questioned why, but have learned to look forward by proceeding with one decision at a time.
In three short months, the new normal is slowly forming.
In three short months our worlds have changed forever.
In three short months we have identified with William Ernest Henley in his poem, Invictus.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
In three short months, we’ve learned that CHOICE is the secret weapon to our amazing futures!
In three short months, we’ve learned how much we still love Chris and miss Chris and wish he was here.
We know that won’t change, but we’ve learned that we will honour him and his memory forever by our actions, choices and how we treat people.
That’s a lot to learn in three short months.
Be The Best.
