Im pretty bad at archiving I guess
So a fair amount has happened since Dec 2008.
Some of the key points are...
January 2009 Move into Stephs old house and gain roomate Jon.
January - February Grandma in hospital to full recovery
Relationship with dad builds to being able to come to him with problems rather than just the fun parent.
Dad refuses to take me to surgery so Ross does.
Surgery has complications results with hematoma and emergency surgery causing lack of sensation.
Mom returns from Haiti
Dad and I continue our projects and evening fires.
May 15th is going to be explained in detail.
Usual walk around waterfront with Aaron starting at midnight. Grandpa call just minutes after 1 asking where I am and that he is going to come meet me for a walk. Odd but just chalked it up to his intoxication. Meet grandpa at London Drugs as he tells me to get in his car (Aaron gets in back seat). He tells me that dad was fishing and he drowned, my immediate thought was "oh what hospital is he in?" No hospital, well no body to be in the hospital even. Im confused and get out the car to sit on the curb and process. Numbness and confusion are all I feel. I dont believe him and I start to hate him for being so drunk and telling me this. I call my uncle Allan, he seems calm so I calmly ask him if he has talked to dad today, he says no. So i blurt out "was dad fishing today?" Which was actually news to me since we were going to have breakfast in the morning. He states in monotone robotic voice that "Larry Angus Eisel drowned in sproat lake this afternoon" I still hate how he said that so I hung up on him. At this point Aaron went home and my grandpa has driven me to his house. I want to see my brother Trevor so I call him and get driven over there. I somehow manage to tell him with out tears. No actual tear at this point at all. But somehow he already knew. He is mad and says "it figures thats what would happen" Carey drives me home. Jennafer calls me as uncle Allan has told her that I called. She says that she wanted to wait till morning to tell me and I never want to talk to her again out of anger. At this point noone has been able to get a hold of my mother. So I try calling her again as I sit alone in my room. She is mad at me when she answers but I dont know what to say so her gets angrier so I just blurt it out. Aaron comes to leave me flowers so I let him in and wait for mum. I still dont belive anyone so I drive to their house and there is his car. I bang and yell and noone answers. Aaron has called rcmp in PA and they say they will call me back. Im home with Aaron when they call, they tell me everything and i remember every word.
They say he drowned because he stood up and the boat capsized. The news says he couldnt swim and wasnt wearing a life jacket. Bullshit he couldnt swim, How did I learn how to swim? from him. True he was intoxicated but when was he not, true he wasnt wearing a life jacket this however is odd. Noone really knows what happened since our only source was more intoxicated than he was. We all have stories and images of what happend. To this day his body has not been recovered.
I didnt sleep that night, Aaron drove me to Ladysmith and watched the sunrise, still on no sleep I drove my mom, sister and her friend to Campbell River and back again. You know its real when everyone gets together. Its really the only time the whole family bothers to come. After this I remember nothing until the funeral and then nothing until 1 month has passed and I pay tribute by getting my memorial tattoo.
June 17th Steph gives birth to beautiful healthy baby boy Cooper who is given up for adoption
June 27th My 20th birthday. Mom refused to talk to me and I found out dad had planned a trip for us to Mexico as a birthday present.
July Nicole takes me to Roosters for a better birthday, Fun night.
Nicole takes me to Roosters and meet a lot of her friends.
Every month at least once I visit her until October 1st when she calls me and says she found us a house in Coquitlam
I quit everything and decide the move would be best for me.
October 31st my last hours of living on the mainland.
Most of the time from May to November I have no memory of.
