Today would have marked Maurice's 30th birthday, if it weren't for that unfortunate accident almost a year ago. It is times like these when you remember the loss of a valued friend more so than normally. No more sharing of cake, taunting the additional year and celebrating life.

My iCal notified me yesterday of Maurice's upcoming birthday, and today again. It will keep on doing that next year, and the year after that...

Maurice you are sorely missed. My thoughts are with you and Michel and your family. Where ever you are, happy birthday!
