Hello all!

Sorry for not posting earlier as there really was not much going on.

All is well with the Cobean family and we are trying to get back to a way of life. Dylan and Bryanna are both quite involved with hockey so that occupies our time. Speaking of hockey, on November 28th at the Girls Silverstick tournament in Port Elgin, Saugeen Shores Minor Hockey are retiring Caitlyn's number "10". This ceremony will be part of the opening ceremonies. At which point we will be erecting a shadow box in the lobby of the arena as a memorial. Our hockey family are such a supportive bunch.

Also, on November 13th, I did something I never thought I would ever do. I got a tattoo put on my foot. Caitlyn always said she wanted a tattoo on her left foot, over the scar from her ankle fusion, that said "Imagine a cure" which is the slogan for brain tumours. So being as she was unable to complete her dream, I decided that this would be a great tribute to our wonderful daughter. Yes, it did hurt a lot but, as I sat there getting the tattoo, I thought of all the time that Caitlyn persevered the pain and agony of chemo and radiation and never said a word. I also, felt her there watching over me, laughing at me and telling me to "suck it up buttercup", one of her favourite phrases.

Well, until next time.
