After being poked, prodded, scanned and questioned at numerous checkpoints in and out of London and Dublin airports, it was nice to walk through customs at Toronto airport with barely a nod. I realize it was 2am but the difference in the scanning processes at Toronto airport compared to the UK and... Sign in to see full entry.

Why do babies smell so good?

This weekend was wonderful. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much or felt so happy. The reason? A cutie pie little boy, just over a year old, my first grandbaby. Saying grandbaby still sends shockwaves through me since I can only recall getting through puberty a year or so ago but I guess... Sign in to see full entry.

Another journey

This week has been wonderful and painful all in a matter of a few days. I was able to spend a great deal of time with an awesome woman, the daughter of my lover. I know now why they had such a close relationship - she is one great chick. We spent one morning at the place where she laid his ashes to... Sign in to see full entry.

Can it get better?

I am grateful, truly I am, for my blessings. Sometimes, like today, it's hard to bring them to the front of my mind. I will do that here. 1. I am thankful for being able to help my parents when they need me. It means I am loved. 2. I am thankful for strangers who found a hospital room my Dad could... Sign in to see full entry.

The Bench

Spring is my favourite time of year, a wonderful respite from the brutal Canadian winter. I feel content sitting in the park, marvelling at the tiny flowers peeking their way through the earth and breathing in the air that for some reason smells so much fresher than days earlier when the temperature...

Easter Saturday

Today was a wonderful day.... I spent many hours with the SWEETEST baby boy... The most precious moment was tonight when I was cozing with him before his nap.....we were cuddled in the rocker and I could feel my lover there with us, folding us both into his love. It was such a beautiful moment, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Gratitude for Good Friday

Although I can't say that Good Friday is a religious day for me, I am feeling that it is a good day because: 1. I had a great gab fest this morning, LMAO at times. Such a wonderful person. 2. the memories still flood me, every day, but now some of those make me smile and be thankful for who he was.... Sign in to see full entry.

Sunday's gratitude

1. A baby's tiny hand wrapped around my finger. 2. His giggle as he spit green beans a good three feet. How can I scold? I hate them too. 3. The wonderful feeling as he cuddles with me after his bath, a tiny, little smile, and off to sleep he goes. Sign in to see full entry.
