We need more little Clairs! Oh Clair

How very fortunate I am to have had such an exceptional lady and human being be part of my life.  Albeit it was just a tad too short.

I got to know Clair when we both became members of the Air Canada advisory committee. From the very start when I met her, she walked the walk with me.

She guided me, listened to my input, was always there to assist, and at the end of the day her presence enriched my experience.

Clair was unique.  She had the gift of giving.  She was generous and kind, patient and compassionate. Clair observed, quietly contributed, and made the world a better place for all of us who were lucky to know her.

Rest in peace, Clair.  Thank you for having fought the good fight. Until we meet again!

It never gets easier! Saying goodbye to Mom once more

 

It never gets easier each time I have to leave Mom after another visit.

What I have accidentally discovered is that it is easier when she accompanies me to the airport. Not sure why it is easier this way but it sure is.

Could it be that it is more meaningful to have her come with me to the airport? Whatever it is, maybe it is because there are more people around us!

Then neither of us will feel sad when the final minute comes

Another sad moment: Preparing to return home

 This is never really easy for me and each time it only becomes a tad more difficult.

My visits to Mom are over so quickly. So much preparation to get there.

So much fun, and then that dreaded day to leave. Mom takes it well but her tears always hurt.

The good thing is that I’ll be back before you know it.

Too bad: Crystal's unfortunate action

As they say!  You almost always reap what you sow.  Or to look at it in a different way? Be honest in all you do!

This did not apply to poor Crystal, one of Mom’s care givers. In short, she did not tell her boss or us that she was 8 months pregnant and this is an absolute  must. Especially so for a care giver.

Mom had noticed it on this particular morning and then my sister in law confirmed it about an hour later.

We would never know why Crystal chose this path, but at the end of the day she could easily have brought harm to herself.

Precious time: Another birthday for Mom

 

Each birthday for Mom is going to be bigger than the previous one! Why? Because she is inching closer to the biggest one!

For this year, we celebrated in the way that she always likes. First breakfast with me.  Moya brought her favourite omelette  and waffles. It was a huge meal but she enjoyed it all!

Then a lovely lunch with Jeff, Gayle, and Bryan and Moya. It was good and the waiters sang Happy Birthday for Mom.

Then home to have a nice nap! That was her birthday for this year!

Precious little ones! Waiting to say goodbye to the butterflies

 The beauty and mystery about these butterflies is that we never know when they will appear and for how long they will stay. This time when I was visiting Mom they graced us with their presence several times.

They would appear out of the blue and Mom would announce their presence for me. They would fly around us but in total their visit would only last but for a few short minutes.

I cannot see them but I can sure imagine them flying close to us. I have named the main butterfly Josefine.  She is white with brown wings. There is another butterfly and she is a very pale yellow in colour.

Now I wait to say goodbye to them as I prepare to leave Mom.

Such a pleasant person: At home with Mom's dentist

This was a very friendly and interesting visit from Mom’s dentist. She arrived on time and was so very good with Mom.

She was very talkative and friendly. I was at ease with her throughout the visit. I just wish that other dentists were like her.
