Chris was a pilot.
Today in the Lives Lived column of the Globe and Mail I read about Christopher David Ireson. The column was lovingly written by his parents.
Chris found out about the cancer that took his life when he was taking his medical to become an Air Canada pilot.
Unfortunately, I will never have the opportunity to be flown on an Air Canada flight by Christopher but the story of his life as outlined by his parents will help pilot me through life.
Chirs and his wife Kourtenay had a wall hanging with the following questions:
How well did you live?
How well did you love?
How well did you learn to let go?
So I believe, Chris still is a pilot in the lives of the people he touched including me as I read his story in Lives Lived.
Could you please send me the article about Chris Ireson. I think I went to school with him (he would have been about 35 this year). I last saw him in BC and he was a pilot with Air Canada.
Thank you, Natalie Deveaux
Hi Natalie,
I read the article in the Globe and Mail. I do not have a copy unfortunately. Chris was quite loved as a few people have contacted me about this post.
