This is a special message to all the special people in my life, that share my life. Most importantly my husband Jim and my sons Trevor, Andrew, Jeffrey, and Danny and Shane. Also my sisters, sisters in law, parents, nephews and friends.
For Jim and the Boys
I cannot really express in words how much I love you. Let's just say that you cannot be more loved than you are by me. My love is true, deep, forever and eternal. I will always be there for you, and walk beside you every step of the way.
I always knew that the most important thing in life for me was to get married and have a family. That is what I did, and it has been the greatest source of my joy. It continues to feed and nurture me every day. It has been such a blessing to get married to a beautiful man like Jim and to continue to grow together in life. We are life partners and we ride the ups and downs of life together, supporting each other as best friends. For that I am truly blessed.
Jim, you have taught me about loyalty and unconditional love. You have always been there for me, taking care of me, and just being my love and my best friend. Your awesome sense of humour and intelligence have been so much fun. We are truly a team together and we have our work cut out for us raising these boys. I love you.
With the birth of my children and my relationship with my stepsons, I have loved every minute of motherhood and raising sons. You have all been such a great source of joy to me, and I am so very proud of each and every one of you. It is so special to see each of you with your own special personalities and unique gifts.
Shane you have succeeded in creating and working in your own business. You are so independent and enjoy the life that you have created for yourself out west. Your dad and I are very proud of your accomplishments and only wish you complete and true happiness.
Danny we are so proud to see your accomplishment in becoming a professional nurse. Such a noble profession, so inspiring. Along with that you maintain a huge network of friendships with your magnetic and fun loving personality. You seem very happy with your Robbie, and we are very glad that you have a wonderful life partner.
Trevor, my soulmate child. You choose the life of the artist, a life of passion and challenge. We are so proud to see you follow your bliss. This is a path that so few have the courage to pursue. I know that you will do something very special in your career. You are very talented as a singer and songwriter, and I know that there is really no other path for you. The main thing is for you to be happy doing what you do. We are also glad that you have Andrea to share your life with, and that each of you support and love each other.
Andrew you are amazing. You have been a community volunteer at Rogers Television now for more than five years. What an accomplishment that is, and how lucky they are to have you. We are also so proud and happy for you that you have found your niche at the Mayfair Theatre. I loved visiting there and seeing you in your special place where you belong. I am amazed at your talent in writing, movies and the whole creative process. May you continue to know joy in doing this work.
Jeffrey you have worked hard to get your college diploma and launch right into a career in management/marketing in the fitness business which is right up your alley. Sports management seems to be such a good fit, and I know that already you are making your mark. I have no doubts that you will soar like an eagle in whatever career aspiration that you follow. You also have a wonderful way of loving and keeping your friends close which is such a beautiful quality, a real gift.
To the rest of my extended family, especially my sisters and sisters in law let me say how much I love you too. I am so glad that our souls chose each other, allowing us to share our lives. There is no greater comfort than the comfort of being surrounded by family who you love and who love you back unconditionally. And that is truly how it is ~ unconditional love, forever and for eternity.
Lisa you are so vivacious and full of life and happiness. You are an inspiration in how one should live life. For our whole lives you have always lived with passion, and you always go for the gusto. Because of that you have pretty much realized your dreams, with a great life partner, a beautiful home and success in your career. Now you are a grandmother of the most beautiful boy. I love you.
Marcie my beautiful nurse sister. You are a special nurturer and your caring and compassion for others is totally who you are. You and I have shared a special bond, and alot of it has been through our suffering together. You were there with me through my car accident, and you had your own sorrow to deal with, the loss of Matthew. We have funny (bittersweet) memories like the time we slipped on the floor coming home from the hospital, and we both laid there and cried.
Whenever I have been sick or hurt you were always the first one who showed up. You never missed a day in the hospital and that is unbelievably amazing. Thank you for your amazing love and giving, I love you.
Cathy you are such a great sister in law. You are responsible for all the family traditions that have created so many wonderful memories for the family, for so many. All the kids admire this, and I thank you. You have also been a constant and caring "sister", one that I can always count on. You have that Lapointe loyalty down to a T.
Norma my sister and best friend. You and I also became very close during the time of my car accident. You were another one that was there for me every step of the way. Whenever I have had trouble or cares, you were there. You are the most loyal of best friends. We have shared the journey of our lives for the past 33 years. That is something. And our friendship and love just continues to grow. I am so happy that you have found someone who is making you happy. I wish you nothing but a beautiful life.
And to my friends who have chosen to share life's journey with me, I am eternally grateful. Each one of you brings something special to my life, and I am so grateful for you. You are what brings the magic and music to my life.

i love this. i mean, my name does not even appear here, but i still love it because, personally, i think the very best gift we can give anybody - especially those we see regularly - is to really see them and to let them know that we see them. really SEE them in that deep, knowing way of seeing them.
