I just found out one of my buddies got killed in the Sparwood avalanche-the bizarre thing was I was talking to Shauna about it when the phone rang. He came out every fall and hunted with us-a real fun guy. Just teaches you to enjoy your friends because you just never know. I'll never forget our last hunting day together-he missed a monster whitetail and we tortured him for it but it was all fun-gonna be a tough season next year.
 
Sorry to hear that Corey. Looked pretty awful on the news tonight.
I don't know the circumstances or those guys experience but a lot of snowmobilers take way too many chances.

Sorry about your friend Corey,was watching the news tonight about the Avalanche.
I just attended a friends funeral today,your right we really need to enjoy those people we call friends.
 
Sorry to hear that NR. My condolences on the loss of your friend. I know what it's like to lose a good friend very suddenly in the prime of life. Life is short for all of us. Shorter for some then others. So make it count.
 
They released some of the names today-Ty and I were supposed to go out there some fall to hunt elk with those guys. It sounds like they were visiting at the bottom when the first avalanche hit-then while they were trying to dig the buried guys out another one happened-I guess he was outside doing what he loved but still sad to see someone that young gone. Blaine was a tough guy for sure.
 
HER DIARY:

Tonight: I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a bar to have a drink. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; he said, "Nothing." I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior. I don't know why he didn't say, "I love you, too." When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. To my surprise, he responded to my caress, and we made love. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.





HIS DIARY:

Missed a big moose today, but at least I got laid.

No disrespect intended but this sums up my buddy in a nutshell. His hunting partner from B.C just sent it to me.

Here's Blaine and the buck we got the last day we hunted together.
 
NR----my most sincere condolences to you and yours on the loss of your good friend.....makes you just wanna wrap around your loved ones and tell them how much you love them!! you just never know......... :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
 
Must admit Corey that little anecdote about sums up men and women - we've all had days like that.

As for your friend, I'm very sorry to hear about it. We heard the survivors on the radio today, apologizing to the families of the deceased that they couldn't do more to save them. A noble gesture.

Keep your chin up, and push on.
