So much is missing, yet I am still here

As most of you know we went camping this past week to Radium Hot Springs. What some of you might not know is that my grandparents would take me to the hot springs every summer since a was a teeny girl. I learned to swim at Miette.
I thought how great it would be to start making some new memories of this new path I call life. I was a bit wrong and here is why.
We met some of my family in Radium and we had an awesome time but after they left to go home it was just me and Reagan. Everywhere we went I was reminded of all the memories I had that weekend and all of the times growing up with my grandparents. My grandpa is dead now which made it ten times harder to enjoy these new memories I was trying to make. This is the reason for my title of this post:
I look around at how much has changed, who is around and who isn't. It makes me so sad that time is moving by so fast it seems. We only get one chance with those that we love or even don't like and if I could go back and change some of the choices i made I would.
Memories are a tricky thing if you ask me. You want to create so many good memories. But when people are not around anymore you are reminded of those good times and how things used to be. People are changing and sometimes life didn't turn out the way you thought it would. (I am having a hard time putting my feelings to words tonight so I will just let you get on to my new memories)

Our squirrel friend at the campsite. He actually ate out of Reagan's hand.

Reagan, Uncle Robert, Aunty Rita, Crystal, Grandma, Tyler, and Adam

Playing Mini golf, I got 2 holes in one :D

The kids swimming, being goofy and just having a good old time.

Saying good bye is always the hardest part... I love you guys <3
