Top of the World

Eric and his brother Christian reached a place late last week that a very select few have ever been - the summitt of Mt. Everest. Both Mike and Glenn have been watched their expedition daily, and never had any doubt at all that Eric wouldn't become the youngest Canadian to ever summit at the age of 20 years old. A full detail of their trip can be seen at:

Reading the post about their summitt day was highlighted for me by this picture, and these few words from Christian:

Andrew passed me and we high-fived and hugged, and I waited for Eric. It was then that I was unexpectedly overcome with emotion and tears started to stream down my face, liquids I could hardy afford to lose! We had worked so hard to get here. I wanted Eric to lead us to the summit. I took a photo of him approaching and then fell in behind him and the two of us walked the last few steps to the highest point on Earth.







Congratulations Eric - nothing but respect from us here.
