JAMES

-

  Jovial: Here we go definitely a word that could be used the type of person James was in life. His humor was amazing he had a great spirit that was uplifting to everyone that met him. His comedy was great and could get everyone cracking 🤣a smile

 Athletic: Not only did James loves watching sports, especially the leafs. He was big on playing sports. I remember watching him at camp climb the wall he did it like it was nothing. I also remember all his stories about his hockey games. Sports sure were a big part of his life.

 Memorable: James brought many great memories to camp. One I will never forget is seeing him wit Jennifer Mulder and Jann Casselman dressed in his tuxedo at the Beat Retreat gala. Dressed to the nines for the ladies he made that camp memorable for sure. That and his amazing ability stacking the cups it was incredible how quickly he did it.

Easy-going: A very relaxed and easy going person. You never saw James stress over things he was always chilled. His positive way sure rubbed off on people who knew him. 

Shine: Bringing a light to a room that was something that came naturally through him. If a person was feeling down he always had the right words to cheer them up. James definitely will be missed by everyone who he knew.

    This was a great write up to commemorate James. There will never be another camper like him. Ever. I wish I had spent a lot more time talking to him. He will be greatly missed. I feel so bad about his passing. -Katherine

UNIQUE CONVERSATION

-
  Last month I had posted an entry about my average numbers of seizures in a day. Or at least what I thought were my average number that I was having. One of my epi friends and warrior Tiffany Kairos posted something to her story about the type of seizures she has and the number of them.   I sat back for a bit and thought to myself I knew my mom or dad or both were seeing a fair number that I was having. Like I knew that I would have between 2 or 3 a day average sometimes I thought 4 maximum of 5. I thought to myself the 5 would be my top out day so to speak. That was a relief in many ways.  Well I got a bit of a turn around where I showed mom the video that Tiffany did. My mom first said she felt bad but knew I understood the feeling. I asked her how she figured? Mom told me yes you know about 2 or 3 a day on average like your aware. Then often there are 5 more I might tell you about.  So more of a 6 to  in a bad day. She said with everything going on you ...

NEW BODY UPS AND DOWNS

-
 Today I found that I had both body freeze  and words disappeare from me. I was on the phone with one of my best friend's, she was talking to me through the whole conversation. Through much of the conversation I was freezing up for a good 5 10 seconds looking for the proper words. It has happened once before but it is or for me is a scary thing.  I almost felt like someone had taped my mouth shut, or cut my vocal cords. I knew what needed to come out but nothing was there to come out.   It was a very sureal feeling for sure, some have asked if it was like an out of body experience. In a way I would say that it was but I couldn't do anything in my "natural body" or on the other plain. A very almost enlighment of an experience at the same time a very scary one.   I certainly could feel myself having a mini panic/anxiety attack. It ended after I was no longer frozen that's why I use term mini panic and anxiety attack it felt like it lasted longer than tru...

FRIENDS FAMILY SEIZURES

-
 You may be wondering why I am adding seizures to this one. It will become clear in a bit. First off I'll start with my friends, I have always had very amazing friends in my life. At the same time I was putting myself in a bubble because I had always been in a catholic school. Outside of that I wasn't sure how to approach everyone the proper way.   Then when it came to my family that was the egg shell area for sure. Especially when I had to look at my side with the Christian side. It was very tense, of course I had certain friends and family i wanted to tell ages ago that's where the next part enters.  The epilepsy and seizures of everything. I never wanted too or purposely try and keep it a secret. So it was in back of mind I knew it was there and would have my seizures increase. So now my seizures have calmed more than they were over past years.
