Saskatchewan soldier killed in Wainwright fire 'was living his dream'

What goes through any parent's mind when they lose their child, their baby? I'm just wondering what my future is going to be like without him in our lives and without him being around. He started saying when he was probably about five years old, when I grow up, I'm going to be an army man. People told him, you know, he had a lot of challenges that he had to overcome and he didn't stop him. so he was definitely like an achiever and he overcame anything that you know was any obstacle that was put in his way he was very loving I got a lot of beautiful messages from his fellow brothers in the military in the army that said that Sean you know was their partner and that he never left any of them behind he was always there supporting them and encouraging them he wanted to be in the army that was his dream we we once asked him i once was on a call with him and said to him oh you must only be dreaming about all the bombs and everything you're blowing up and shooting your weapon and he said mom i am not dreaming about these things i'm living my dream that was his exact words to me we cannot begin to describe how grateful we are we didn't expect what has happened like the support there's so many people that we're grateful for but there's there's not a person that hasn't shared their love with us not just in Prince Albert but all over Canada so many people we we're just grateful it's been amazing it's actually quite overwhelming
