Business Time


Some comedy entertainment while I write serious posts behind the scenes.
It was hard to choose a clip, but this one had me in tears last night, so here ya go mates!

Nice Weekend

I have no time to write anything today so here is a pic from Saturday at the mountain. It was the boy’s first time trying snowboarding. Cheers!

Happy Birthday Mom!

daughter and mother

Roses are red, violets are blue
This is the first time I’ve blogged about you
I hope this will do, in lieu of a card
I want to be witty but it’s really hard
You know that I love you, you deserve the best
Some poetry should really have you impressed
A fine day today, it lies within reach
With a walk in the woods or some time on the beach.
Whatever you do, or who is beside you
I know you will keep the one love inside you
We need to connect soon, for everyone’s sake.
Be expecting a visit when we get to spring break.

I hope you enjoy your birthday today and may the next year bring much peace and happiness!
Love, me

A Parent’s Nightmare

This morning I saw a newspaper headline about an 7 year old boy from Bellingham who has been missing for nearly three days after he disappeared from a beach on Vancouver Island while vacationing with his family.

Whenever I hear about things happening to children my own son’s age, I can’t help putting myself in that parents’ place for just a moment, empathising with what they are going through. I was instantly transported back to the the panic and fear I experienced that day several years ago when I lost track of my own son for only a few minutes near a large body of water.

Since I especially related to today’s story, as soon as I got home from work I went online to check on the progress of the search. There was a photograph.

My heart sank. I know that face. It’s William, a sweet boy I know, a friend of my son’s. David and Camilla’s little boy. The anguish they must be going through right now I can only imagine. I hope we have some answers soon.
