Hello all
Well, we had a busy weekend! Friday night we spent the entire night in Mildmay at the Relay for Life with about 35 of our friends. We had 3 teams there to support us, in memory of Caitlyn. What a great event!! It was a very big emotional roller coaster. The event raised $72 000.00 for cancer research. Thsi is picture of our campsite at the event. We then came home and slept for a few hours on Saturday. Sunday was the Terry Fox Run in Port Elgin, where I had been asked to say a few words as Terry's teammate. Although it was pouring down rain there was a great turnout. We did not actually walk in this event as our feet and legs were still aching from Friday night. Again, another amazing event. So needless to say we have been in bed early the last couple of nights.
I have went back to work last week, once Dylan and Bryanna got settled into school. Jim is working also, (he went back to work the week after the funeral). We are planning weekend trips with the trailer before the weather gets too nasty and trying to find out what our "normal" is now. We dearly miss Caitlyn and often think of what Caitlyn would say when certain things arise. We truly felt her presence with us all weekend as we continued the fight against this horrible disease.
Thanks again for remaining interested in our postings.

Hi Rona & Family;
You sure did have a busy but exhilirating and successful weekend. We know Caitlyn was with you every step of the way. Your emotions will continue on a roller coaster. The heaviness will always be there, but it does get easier to deal with. One thing we learned is to let our emotions show, and not try to cover up. We think of you often.

Thanks for sharing your experience over the weekend. I'm sure Caitlyn is proud of your fundraising efforts as she watches over you....her memory will inspire many. All the best to you and your family as you travel through this transition period.

We think of you all every day! The Relay for Life is a wonderful event to celebrate Caitlyn's life and a wonderful night to laugh, love, remember and share great stories of her life! I am sure that she was smiling down on you..and of course giving her two cents on your tent site and rolling her eyes when you talked too much!! :)
We are always here for you!
love, hugs and kisses
Bev, Rob, Leah and Joey
you will always have caitlyn in heart some people come into your life and quickly go others stay for a short time but they leave their hand prints on your heart and you are never ever the same
Caitlyn was such a little person who has left such BIG footprints on all our lives.
God bless her soul and God bless all whose lives she has touched in those few short years.
