Tonsils removal
When I was just 3 I had to undergo surgery to get my tonsils removed. At the time youtube was fairly new and my dad had took a video of me before my surgery when I was drunk. He then posted it to youtube and it has always been a funny video to watch with family and to just show people. -
Started playing hockey
I started playing hockey after learning how my cousin was a professional hockey player, and the dream was to be like him. I played on many teams over the years but it had all started on the putnam panthers, where I played for 5 years before moving on. Growing older reality hit me that not everyone can be a pro player. That never changed the love I had for the sport tho. -
Grandfather passing
when I was 9, my grandpa passed away from cancer which was very devastating for my family because he was such a great person to everyone and everyone in his town knew who he was. This was hard for me because i knew he wouldn't get to see me grow up and become a man. I only remember small things of him because I was so young. I wish I had more time. Since I have no contact with my mom's dad, he was my only grandpa and then he was gone. Now I only have one grandparent here that I cherish. -
Grandma passing
My grandma was relatively the only person I talked to on my moms side of the family and we were very close with her but not with anyone else. She was so funny and so loving to me and my sister and never hesitated to give us that extra piece of desert or let us stay up past our bedtime when staying over at her house. When she passed, I was young and that was yet another grandparent that didn't get to watch me grow up. -
dog bite
In january of 2019, we had just got a 6 month old dog from a family who didn't want him anymore. The first few weeks were fun, getting used to living with 2 dogs, and just the feeling of a new pet. It was obvious this dog had past trauma in his old house, and had developed food aggression. And one night after dinner he was eating and i went to pet him, and he has just snapped and bit my wrist open in 3 places. I ended up needing 16 stitches, and came out very lucky with no permanent damage. -
House fire
In june of 2020, at around 12 in the morning, my family was woken up to the smoke alarms in my home. We had quickly realized there was a fire in the garage and we had quickly got us and 3/4 of our pets out of the house and ran to the neighbors. Our home was completely destroyed and everything was gone. There was no recovering anything from the house. My whole life was in that house and a chapter of my parents. And it was all gone. -
Putting down my childhood dog
Exactly a month after our fire, while we were temporarily living in a townhouse, we had to put down our dog of 13 years. The dog that grew up with me, was no longer going to be in my life. He was the most sweetest dog in the world and all he wanted to do was love you and make you happy. I wish dogs could live forever but sadly that isn't the case -
Moving into our new house
We had spend the next year rebuilding a new house from scratch where our old one once stood. This whole process was so exciting for all of us. Just watching the progress of our house and thinking about how its going to look once its done. On june 2, 2021, our house was done and we had moved in. This was one of the most exciting days of my life and i enjoyed every minute of unpacking all of the donated items and finding a place for everything in our new house. -
my person
in october of 2022 me and a childhood friend had started dating and it was amazing. We had always been on and off but this time it was real. It has almost been a year and I couldn't be happier with anybody else. We both truly love eachother so much and it is so rare to find in today's society. We are perfect for each other and both love eachother so much. I know I have found my person -
