These pictures were taken of Laura when we met up in Osoyoos for her 10th wedding anniversary. It was the last time I saw her before she was diagnosed. She seemed happy, vibrant and healthy at that time. The next time I saw her she was in hospital to have her spleen removed and I was shocked at the change. I'm almost sorry now that I went to Vancouver, because I'd much rather remember her the way she was that beautiful weekend we spent together, laughing, talking and enjoying each other's company. I haven't posted these before because, selfishly, I wanted to keep that memory to myself for a while, but I know her family would like to see these.
