Brockville isn’t too far from Ottawa, but it’s apparently far enough. Been really missing the big city lately. So getting a little Ottawa in the mail from @tsn_scianitti was an awesome surprise! Shooter and I had crossed paths a few times in the past at Redblacks’ games, but he’s been one of the biggest support of #DonateBlood and #GiveLife that I’ve met since I’ve been sick, and I can’t thank him enough for that. Thanks for the sick shoes (with shoutout to @leylandadams for the sick art, as well!!) #MyOttawa #Ottawa #OttawaArtiststs #gamedaychucks
It’s #WorldRadioDay today! And what I’ve DEFINITELY learned over my 5+ years in this biz, is that I suck at taking pics of me actually working in radio. So here’s the same pictures of the office that I love so much. And a place I miss so much. It’s been almost 2 years since I’ve been to work. And not a day goes by that I don’t miss it. But I consider myself so blessed to be part of the industry that I’m such a fan of, and that’s brought me so many incredible people, and memories.
Through good times and bad, laughter and tears, smooth sailing and shit shows, thank you all for listening. 🧡 📻 🎙
First time out of the house in probably a month, and what a difference it made. It really is nuts how much difference a simple drive can make.
Been really hard lately. But today was the start of easier days. Only way to think. Keep pushing, everyone. Appreciate the little moments, and don’t let go of the big ones.
When I was a kid, a rare, but always special treat was getting to join dad at the crack of dawn, working in various schools across out lovely region. Because of those trips, I have always found an incredible calmness in the first coffee the day. Now, I don’t like coffee. I don’t know how to make coffee. I didn’t even make the coffee in this photo. Just like when I’d go to work with him at the crack of dawn, my dad did. And yet, I still felt that same feeling of overwhelming tranquility without fail. He’s checking his E-mails, I’m eating toast or cereal, a hot chocolate in place of the coffee I didn’t make.
I hope your days start and hold onto that same, basic tranquility that seemed so small back in the day, and yet, has returned to my life, and has been so valuable. I hope wherever you may find that feeling today, that it be just as soothing to you, and it’s been for me.
And, hey. Maybe I’ll when learn to make coffee on occasion. 😋
Unbelievable to see @mattfharris and @ajaxou_12 in our socially distant garage this afternoon. And finally got to meet Daisy! She enjoyed napping on me, and I didn’t make her cry! She did happen to poop while I holding her, in her Sens onesie, too... not sure what to make of that.. 😂 Matt, I love you like a brother, and I’m so glad our paths crossed. You’re my best friend (can you tell by my eyes in the last pic? 😂), and I can’t want to see you all again. 🧡🧡🧡
Regardless of the outcome tonight, this Canadian #WorldJuniors team will always mean the world to me. Rocking this signed jersey with pride tonight. Let’s go! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 #InThisTogether @hockeycanada@madisonkoekkoek@tsn_official
The Fraser 5. My wonderful family. All of us together, just the way we should be, the way we are now.
I have some news to announce. With the return of my leukemia, a plan was laid out. Unfortunately, the completion of this treatment would have left me with a 25% chance of living 1 calendar year. With that in mind, and after A LOT of thought, I’ve made a very difficult decision to stop treatment. It’s much more important to me to spend whatever time I have left with my family, and my friends, either virtually, or socially distanced, rather than suffer through more treatment, knowing I won’t get the results to make it worth it. I’d rather make new happy memories with the people that I love, so that’s what I’m going to do. I’ve decided to make the public because one thing I absolutely don’t want to do is disappear. There are several people who have really invested a lot into my fight, and they deserve to know. All I ask, is that you don’t treat me any differently. I want the rest of my life to feel as close to the life I have lived and lived up to this point as possible.
As always, I truly cannot thank you all enough for the love and support. To everyone who sent food, or gifts, or cards, or just tweets and messages of love over the past 18 months. You already know this, but you’ve carried me through my time in the hospital, and gave me the strength to make it home to my family. I love all of you.
