forty-seven years ago on this day I married the love of my life…

the years we had together were filled with many memories, two children, and three grandchildren…

for the last five years I have celebrated the forty-one plus years we shared together, alone…

still not sure if I should be celebrating, but not commemorating the day at all doesn’t seem right either…

some years I have stayed home and had a quiet day remembering some of the highlights… some years I’ve spent time with my daughters…

this year I was up and out of the house by 5:45 on the way to Kenora to watch rowing at the Canada Summer Games with my grandson…


had lots of treats in amongst the watching… 

still have many of the questions I pondered a few years back… not sure I will ever have the answers…

been thinking of the momentous moments in one’s life… and how they change everything…

for me those moments have included…

the moment I met my beloved… he walked into my parents’ house with a friend who was staying with us… from that instant my life changed forever…we were inseparable from that day forward…

the moment we got married… and began our life together… although we were young it felt like the perfect step and started a lifetime of great happiness…

the moment we became parents, both times... and how our lives changed again in the most amazing and wonderful way…

the moment we became grandparents… and how life changing that has been as each one of our grandchildren has come into the world and added joy to our lives…

the moment we became the seniors in our family…when we returned from the hospital after his mom (our last parent) died and our children began looking after us…

the moment my beloved left me…

been very busy with sports the last few days… last night had dinner with my daughter and oldest grandson and then went to watch his soccer game…

Kyler's team taking a well deserved break...

older one’s team taking a well deserved break, it was very hot…

tonight I went to their house and we had Chinese food for dinner – tomorrow is Jeff’s birthday – and then went to the second grandson’s soccer game…

Tavin on the way to a goal...

on the way to a goal…

both nights the weather was great, although clouds blew by… both boys played very well and I could see the improvement in the oldest, as I had been at one of his games before going to the coast…

reminded me of my dad… he was an athlete in his youth but as an adult he suffered from emphysema so couldn’t participate in sports but he loved to watch and support them… we often went to events at the Arena – for skating and running… Dad taught me that the important thing was to do your best and we always cheered for everyone, not just the front runners…

we followed that same philosophy with our children and now our grandchildren…

what a blessing to be able to see them having fun and learning great life skills…
