Emily had an amazing 2016
It wasn’t all easy and happy
She lost a friend, struggled during her school coop placement in the spring, had a biopsy done on one of her scar on her back, received a list of 35 items she should no longer eat and had her wisdom teeth removed… just to name a few things.
If you were to ask her about 2016, I’m sure she would tell you about Chelsea passing away because Chelsea is still in Emily’s thoughts regularly but she will also tell you about our trip out west, staying home alone, emptying the dishwasher, starting her own art gallery and selling her art. She will tell you that she’s a cheerleader, a high school senior and that her school coop is at a art gallery which she really enjoys. She might also mentioned how we raised all the money we needed to get our fully accessible baseball field build.
We had so many amazing things happened in 2016!
Emily will focus on all the awesome parts.
So for 2017, I wish you to be more like Emily.
I wish you to tackle the challenges with patience, positivity and determination to see the other side.
I wish that once it is all said and done, you can see the lesssons learned and remember all the good things as opposed to focus on the bad.
In 2017, we should all try to be a little bit more like Emily!
Love,
Pascale

Happy New Year to you, Emily and Jon, Pascale! I will be doing a lot of travelling in 2017 – I’m heading up to Brisbane, the northern most capital city on the east coast of Australia, in March for a week. Going to see Daniel O’Donnell and Mary Duff in concert – a blog entry coming up on that
