As another year passes, I hope that you will all think of Dale today and remember fun and happy memories of him.
Even though it’s sad he’s no longer with us, I know that I think of him everyday and miss him so much. There’s so many reminders of him around our home. His beautiful picture hangs on the wall in the entranceway, his ashes have pride of place on the hutch until Mitchell will accept that they need to be scattered. The other main reminder eats twice a day and is very demanding that things be done her way or not at all. She thinks she owns the house and really needs to realise that I DO NOT want to take her for “walks” at 4am and that playing with her plastic weasel is also not an option at that hour of the day. I’m sure Dale puts her up to these things.
So on this 4th Anniversary, know that you are loved and missed very much and always in our thoughts.

I think Dale would like some focus placed on making people aware that Colorectal Cancer is not just an old person’s disease. When you are 17 years old, you don’t expect to get Bowel Cancer. Dale used to say he would love to go visit high schools and tell the kids that they need to be aware of their family medical history and if they have any symptoms then to Tell Someone and Don't Be Embarrassed!!! He never got to do it.
Bowel Cancer screening in Australia is great if you are an older person. Most people don’t think to get their kids checked if there is a family history of it. But PLEASE – this is a serious disease. I would hate for other people to be without their children because they didn’t realise that it could happen. And that’s what it comes down to. You Just Don't Realise That It Can Happen.
The important thing is – Ask Your Doctor.
As a parent, I would rather see my child go through 6 days of fasting from certain foods once a year, than not having my child tested at all and facing having to be without them – like we are without Dale.
