a sad start to november

november started out on a not-so-high. sam's dad, doug, passed away quite suddenly and it really was a difficult time for the boyles. we admire their strength as they dealt with such a blow.

it was, however, wonderful to reflect on the type of man doug was. the tributes at his funeral showed me how sam has become such a great man- he had such a fabulous father. i was touched by the words said about him and i truly left the funeral wanting to be a better person. 

our heart goes out to you, boyle family. we love you.
