I was looking for a photo of a document and this popped up. My girl. Not long before she died. I can’t breathe. Stumbling upon her photos knocks the wind out of me.

@gingerdrebma Not gonna lie, this made me a bit emotional. Clearly you work with a group of wonderful people who have restored a bit of my faith in humanity. I truly hope everything goes swimmingly for your father. ♥️

I am disappointed and disgusted by the comments about the Trudeau-Gregoire announcement on all the socials. People are so horrible! Right now I’m embarrassed to be a Canadian. And I’m sad about their news.

Tomorrow is the loneliest day of the year for those of us whose children have gone before us. I will be thinking of my children and remembering happier days and trying to smile while I choke back the tears. Life can be so bittersweet.

Help me understand please. In order to read obituaries in the Chronicle Herald, one must have a subscription? The people who post obituaries of their loved ones have paid an exorbitant amount of money. What am I missing?

🧵I’m in the ER. I’ve had two ECGs, bloodwork, and have an IV in. Just in case. In the waiting room so I’m hopeful that means I’m not going to die today. The nurses are exceptional and I started to weep just because I feel cared for.

@keenethery She made me a mother and for that I shall be eternally grateful. She and I suffered devastating loss. Her baby brother died when Laura was only five. She never recovered. Children are NOT resilient. In Sept of 2017 she ended her life at 37. My sweet girl.

Raccoon has departed. He doesn’t like AC/DC. Climbed down the deck very carefully, and wandered down the lane to meet up with his pals. He had a lovely snooze on the deck furniture and, when he awoke, he had a marvellous loooong stretch. ♥️🦝
