In honour of Chris’ b-day there was a lot of yogurt consumed and push-ups completed amoung other things like steak eating and ice cream cake devouring.
In this video evidence you can see my nephew Steve rockin out his push-up tribute from Charleston, South Carolina, USA!
Cool.
Although as parents we’re not advocating tattoos, we know that they are a very powerful form of remembrance.
When I saw Devon’s tattoo, I loved it. Devon is a friend of Chris’ from Brookswood Secondary and you saw him in the yogurt toast picture from yesterday’s blog.
Look closely. Not only does his tattoo say ‘forever young’, but it has Chris’ signature.
I asked Devon if it hurt.
He said yup…but I’m sure he didn’t care.
My eyes were wet when I looked closely and took in the full impact of the moment and thought about the future and how Chris will be with Devon forever.
That was an amazing show of friendship, respect and I’m hoping a driving force for Devon through life’s journey ahead!
Whether we wear our tattoos on our arms or on our hearts, we are RIGHT WITH YOU DEVON!
Chris Friesen has affected us forever. And I mean that in the most positive way.
His attention to fitness.
His attention to healthy eating.
His attention to following your dreams.
His attention to goals to attain those dreams.
His attention to Being The Best.
As the day ended on Friday, January 14, 2011 we felt a strong peace that Chris was happy…and so were we.
Rock your week and Be The Best.
Be The Best.
