What a beautiful day

This labour of love called Shania's Sunflower of hope Fun Fair turned out to be another beautiful day. Even though it rained again, this indoor fun fair shinned as bright as any sunflower can. This Fun Fair is what Shania is all about, fun loving, caring, kind, happy, smiling, living for the moment. You can see it in the great people who helped organize this event, the special people and companies who sponsored it, the talented people who entertained at it. And you the people that came out and had a great time for a great cause, to help these children suffering this horrible monster of a disease. On the morning that Shania died it was pouring rain outside, Shania was in and out of a dream like state as her body struggled in exhaustion to breath against this cancer that had spread to her lungs. Her mind was clear when she would wake up, she asked us if it was raining out and we told her yes that it was pouring out. She gave both Karen and I a big hug, at the same time (A hug that I will never forget as long as I have breath in my lungs.)
Shannon had woken up and came into Shania's room and Shania told her that she loved Shannon. And not long after that she was gone. Then the sun came out and shinned bright for the rest of the day. It was similar at the fun fair, after Shania's grampa George and I picked up the last load of stuff and drove out of the Markham Fair grounds gate the sun came out of the clouds and into solid blue skies. To me this was a tribute to Shania, that even on the rainiest of days you can enjoy yourself no matter what. It's what you make of life yourself. While we're on the subject of life, a volunteer Andrea Lack at the fun fair told me that a little boy around five or six was waiting to go on the fun fair park bouncy castle and he told her that "this is the best day of my entire life"!! This is the best compliment that can be said about Shania's Fun Fair and all the people that are part of this labour of love. The volunteer that I just mentioned Andrea Lack has a little boy named Sam whom had Neuroblastoma stage three, he has been in remission for a while now and they have a birthday/fun fair fundraiser party called Sam's day you can check it out at http://www.samsday.org/ they gave us the idea of having passports that the kids can get stamped while playing the games. Shania loved this treasure hunt to win a prize idea. All the best to you, your family and friends at this years event. I will go into more details about shania's Fun Fair and the big surprise!!!! tomorrow or I guess it's today, right now I have to try to get some sleep, Ive been up since three AM yesterday morning and it's now twelve o two AM now.
All the best,
Love Shayne,Karen and Shannon
