Mixed emotions.

Just thinking back 17 years ago today when my friend was killed in a Medevac plane crash  on their way to an Obstetrical emergency on Haida Gwaii (formerly known as the Queen Charlotte Islands).  I blogged on it last year, in case you missed it.

The same exact day, 16 years after the crash, my friend's niece, whom he was very close to - had her baby girl.     I blogged about that, too.

I just wanted to mention it.....every year I think of Danny......and now, as salve to a wound -  that ominous date has been turned into one with more joy than sorrow.   Happy 1st Birthday, Little One!!

But I will never forget him.

And your words help his legacy live on. What a noble soul to have the job that he did, helping other's live their lives.

What a precious gift that sweet little girl must be. It's new life that helps us look to the future with ope.

One day I would like to visit the area where the plaque is. They say it's quite pretty up there.
