R.I.P. Dad

You were and will always be the heart and soul of our family.  Your courage inspired us, your determination fueled us.

  

You are finally free.  Free from Parkinsons.  Free from the hospitals.  Free from the doctors.  Free from it all.

Free to create, free to enjoy, free to walk, free to run, free to dance, free to laugh, free to eat, free to drink.

As you knock on the gates of heaven, St. Peter would be wise to let you in without delay.  By then, you will have sized up heaven's landscapes, and determined what and how you could improve your new neighbourhood. Much like the neighbourhood in Mississauga you scoped out for us in the 70's before we moved here from Montreal.

Free at last.  

Until we meet again, Dad.  I love you always.
