Wow, I haven’t written in my blog for a long while. Sorry about that.
July has been an up and down month for me. I was in Regina (2.5hr away) and was on my way back. I had an urge to call my mother on my drive back. She was with my grandmother who hadn’t been feeling well, flu perhaps? I asked my mother to ask my grandmother, lol, how my grandfather and grandmother met. My mother said oh they met at a dance I think. I said no, ask her. My mother said I’ll ask her when she’s feeling better. I then pleaded no mom, please ask her now, I have to know now! I was almost desperate to know. She did ask and I could hear my grandmother in the background answering. They met at a friend’s house, this friend had 6 children! I then went on to ask what happened next? Did my grandfather start to follow her, did they write, phone, etc? My mother said I’ll ask her tomorrow when she may be feeling better. That’s when I said, tell her I love her and hung up the phone. This is when I began to cry on my drive back from Regina to Saskatoon…Tomorrow never came. My grandmother died early the next morning. I flew to Nova Scotia that evening. I cancelled all my appt.s and everything I had planned. I stayed overnight in the Toronto airport, can’t find a good hotel these days! I went back for my mother, not really for my grandmother. My grandmother is ok, doesn’t make it any easier and yes I do cry but only for myself and my family left behind. I stayed for a few days and came back home.
On a better note, I’ll be on a few radio programs for the month of August and September. I don’t advertise these and I suppose I should, however, I’ve been on a ton of radio. Search my name and I’m sure a few past shows will come up. Here are a few upcoming radio programs. If you wish to have me on a program, just let me know and hopefully I can make it happen.
