Merry Christmas To The Great White North....

I have no pictures to post because my camera is temporarily on haitus (it's a holiday thing). It is sunny, warm and we are off to enjoy a seafood luau in La Jolla to celebrate our non-Christmas Christmas. Then we may take a walk on the beach :-) We have been very busy lounging for the last week and intend on doing more in the week to follow. The snow kids and the city kids are all arriving next week to do their own lounging and hopefully by that point I'll have convinced my camera to go back to work. I hope this day is filled with laughter, love and family for everyone. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night....

Grief

He passed away on November 29th at 7:34pm. In his final moments, he found peace. He was the greatest father I could have asked for and he will be deeply missed.

His death was a remarkable experience and I hope I can write about it one day. Right now I am so profoundly sad that I don't know what to do with myself. I am so filled up with sadness and grieving that I think perhaps I'll try to pass some around at the funeral....stand at the door and hand out little gift bags of grief for all the attendees to take with them so that I don't have to carry the world's grief inside my heart.

We are in Calgary now (at yet another hotel) and the funeral is tomorrow. Then we are finally coming home......
