I can’t believe it’s all over a pinky ring ;)
It’s like a fat kid in a candy store….it’s like a kid on Christmas…the excitement is here and John couldn’t contain it. I don’t blame him either. Years ago it seemed so far off in the distance it’s hard to imagine the time has come. It’s now after 4:30. In a few short minutes the doors to the Beaverbrook Conference room are going to be locked for an hour and the “secret” ceremony Canadian Engineers go through will begin! Then it’s food and then one big party. Why it’s not on a Friday is beyond me. Oh well….I’m going to be tired tomorrow… It’s been a long time coming. John…

It’s been 4 years
…4 long (yet short) years. I haven’t forgotten. I still don’t have the voice to say what I want so I’ll let the words I wrote four years ago sound out. There is so much I want to say about my Gram, but I don’t know where to start and I honestly wouldn’t be able to stand before you today because of the impact of losing her has had on us all. I’m sure you all have different poignant memories and stories to share, which I feel is her greatest gift. I struggled with the thoughts of being strong enough to speak but I would rather leave it to someone…
