Update On Joanne

Dear Mrs. Daquano,
I am a friend of your son, Dylan. Dylan and I have been fairly good friends since the beginning of when we were in grade seven. You used to teach at the school I used to attend. Which would be St.Catherine's. I don't know a single student or teacher that doesn't know your story and support you and your family. You have touch the lives of many and me especially. Dylan and I used to see each other quite a lot, but recently, we don't seem to be as close. But I understand that, with you being quite ill.

I can still remember the look on Dylan's face when he told me in grade five what was going on. It was the saddest face I have ever seen in my life. I from then on, thought of you as someone that anyone could look up to as a role model. You are the strongest person I will probably ever meet in my life. You have a wonderful family and great and generous friends who I know will support you through all of this.

I can only wish that everything will be okay.Dylan, I sure miss you and we should set a date to see each other.

Love,
Connor Lacroix


SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say, "Hi"

You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
