I remember a time just over 7 years ago that Iain and I had virtually no responsibilities except our own happiness. We got up every morning and went to work, had quiet dinners together every night while watching Trading Spaces then would go to get groceries together or go for a swim, maybe go to the gym, go for long walks around our new subdivision while Iain enjoyed a cigar. We went to the movies whenever we wanted, we visited with out of town friends on a whim, we got invited to go out with friends on the weekends but didn't always feel the need to go. Sometimes we would just rent a movie and enjoy a relaxing night at home. We talked about trips we wanted to take, provincial parks we want to camp at, restaurants we wanted to eat at, what was going on at work...it all seemed so important at the time.
On July 27, 2003 all of that changed - nothing has been more important to us since.
Happy birthday to my sweet boy!
