today would have been my dad’s 91st birthday… he’s been gone for 26 years…

he was an amazing man who taught me many life lessons… he was always my sounding board… for many years I drove him to and from work and he introduced me to some amazing people… he worked for Canada Manpower and spent his days helping people to figure out what they wanted to do with their lives… we spent a few years in the north where he opened Manpower offices and taught me to help set them up and organize them… maybe that’s were I got my love for organization…

throughout their marriage I never heard him be rude or raise his voice to my mom…

he looked after her for many years as she spent nearly half of each year in the psych ward and he looked after us on his own during all that time…

a rare photograph of mom and dad…

when the girls were little they could always find candies in his pockets…

some lovely memories today…
