The best sister ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shannon had her sixth birthday on Friday and what a fun day it was. Shannon woke up early and was floating on a cloud. She had an appointment to get her ears pierced with her best friend Megan. Shannon asked us a while ago if she could get her ears pierced like Shania. Shania had her ears done when she turned six also. I remember Shania asking to get hers pierced when she was five and we said that she could when she turned six, hoping that she would forget about it. She didn't forget and greatly anticipated that big day. Shannon had a Barbie cake, the one with the doll and the cake is the dress. A bunch of her friends came over to play birthday games and go swimming. A big thank you to Melissa Hawkins for donating her life guarding fee to Shania's Sunflower of Hope. We were so happy to see Shannon having so much fun with her friends on her special day. Yesterday was a different story. It really hit us hard that we missed Shania on Shannons special day. We all were thinking about how much fun she would of had setting up all the games,playing in the pool and helping shannons day be a beautiful one. Shannon was very upset and said that Shania was "the best sister ever" and that she missed her so much. We all missed her, we think about her all of the time.
We added in Shania's beautiful DVD tribute from the funeral onto the home page yesterday, thanks to Edward our website specialist. So if you want to view it go to Shania's home page, just click on the small boxed in picture of her. This was very heart breaking for us to watch. We hadn't watched it since Shania's funeral. At the part near the end of her tribute it shows Shania playing the xylophone, this peace Shania wrote by her self along with the song that she wrote and sings for her mother, it is very touching to see Shania do these two beautiful peaces. The back ground music through out this DVD is a song called " You lift me up" by Josh Grobin. Shania loved this song the first time she heard Micheal Burgess sing it at a NHL Old timers game. Karen got it burned onto a CD and Shania would always ask to listen to it every time we were in our van.
Shannon asked after we watched the DVD if she could watch a movie that Shania and her had made just before Shania relapsed. I video taped their movie which was about their barbies fighting against the evil Super Seema. It is very funny and we had a great laugh with misty eyes at the same time. Shania had such an incredible creative ability to do these kinds of things. It was the sad day after the happy one. Karen and I would like to thank Syd Birrell for stopping by last night, your timing was perfect, we needed someone to talk to, who can empathize with what we were feeling. Syd knows all to well what it's like to lose a child to this terrible disease. He lost his incredible son James who created the James Fund For Neuroblastoma research at Sick Children's Hospital. Thanks again Syd for being there for us.
The week before Shania died she picked out the colours for the five hundred bracelets that will be worn by the cyclists of the "Ride For Karen". This being a cycling challenge to raise money to send children with cancer to camp. All in honour of Karen Tobias who past away from breast cancer, she is the mother of Kirk and Chris who have set up this amazing challenge. I was able to match up the beads that she picked out and we have started to fill there huge order of bracelets. I would like to thank Vern Chant a friend of Kirk and Chris for lending me an excellent race bike called True North for this challenge of 160KM. Also thank you Kirk, Chris and family for letting Shania and us be a part of this great cause. Kirk is dedicating his ride in honour of our Shania, as you can guess I am also. She will be in my heart and on my mind all the way in this fundraising challenge.
I will always believe in Shania I will I will!!!!!!!!
I will always believe in Shania I will I will!!!!!!!!!!!!

With love that is true,
