And My Journey Thru' Breast Cancer
This is for my MIL .. because she had wanted Chloe’s picture at 6 months on this blanket that her daddy had. But i had flipped it wrongly. Sorry mom..! I did try.. and that you have to give me credit.. hahaha!!
Now tell me if father and daughter look alike or not..??
Nothing beats getting enough sleep. This morning.. my spouse woke up with Chloe.. so that i can go back to sleep. And sleep i did till 12.30pm ! wow!! right..?
Yes wow..!! Chloe haven’t been sleeping the greatest of late.. and because of all the going on. .with my old blog.. not enough workers … and then the news of Roy’s death.. all took a toll in my health. So yes.. having the extra sleep… this morning.. was heaven sent..! although technically it was only 8hrs .. but still..!! it was really good.
Thank you .. honey..!
Yesterday was Canada’s Day and it has always been one of the store’s busiest day for selling fireworks and glowsticks. As usual.. my spouse and I have to make sacrifices to be at the store for at least 10 hours of the 11 hours of operation time.
This year unfortunately, because we do not have enough staff…. it was more hectic for us. On top of it.. my MIL couldn’t come and help us with Chloe .. because of a death in the family. Poor Chloe had to be shuttled to and fro the store, so that my employees can get some help with us around.. to look out for theft and the crowd.
This year’s Canada’s Day will mark the many years of memories and anniversaries of the passing away of Roy – Godfather to my spouse.
My spouse asked me .. where i wanted to be buried in the event of my death.. ?? i told him here in Yarmouth.. because i need to be close to my daughter.
My spouse’s godfather, Roy, who also happen to be my MIL’s youngest brother.. the baby of the family of 9 siblings…passed away yesterday morning of heart attack.
We knew he was hospitalised a few days ago.. but we didn’t think it was that serious to render us to worry about him.
Apparently, Roy had told my MIL that he didn’t feel that bad for them to go up to Campbleton in New Brunswick, an 8hrs drive on a good day to visit him in the hospital, therefore when news arrived that he passed away this morning.. i was taken aback.. and in fact very sad.
I have never really gotten to know Roy personally .. but he had always been nice to us.. and i had hope that Chloe will get to know him better.
I feel extremely emotional about it.. because Roy was very young.. he must be in his early 50s. I donch think he expected to go so soon either. He is survived by his wife, Carmen, and three sons, Mario, Richard and Troy.
My MIL is leaving for Campelton first thing in the morning and will be returning with Roy’s body on Wednesday, as he wished to be buried here in Hectanooga.
We await to pay our last respect on Wednesday to a good man.. ! a likeable man..! a good husband and father.. and a most of all .. a good brother to all his other siblings here and the godfather to my spouse… and a Granduncle to my daughter .. Chloe .. who will never know this man intimately.
God bless his soul.. as the angels await .. to welcome another angel into heaven.
This is me and my spouse…. when we first met in Canada in 2000 December. We had an online relationship for 6 years before i came to visit him during Christmas – 15 December 2000. He flew out to Toronto to meet me. And we stayed at the Hyatt in Toronto before coming home to Yarmouth, NS to meet his family.
One person who made a lasting impression on me was Sandra Killam, my spouse’s aunt. When i first met her.. i had wanted to give her a handshake.. but nope.. she wouldn’t have it.. she gave me a HUGE hug..!! And Sandra has always been in my good books ever since.
If you notice the store was not even full with inventory yet, my spouse had just started the business not too long ago… he was therefore unable to come visit me first in Singapore like we had planned because he had bought out his partner after opening the business for 6 months for 10K. Compared to then.. the store is so full .. we have no space to put more stuff into it.
