Hi all - I'm back from celebrating my step-mother's birthday, seeing lots of family and the friends my dad and Stella made in the five or six years of living there. We also interned my father's ashes at their church and I went to the Mess where he and Stella went every Friday. To top it off, here in Canada, it was Remembrance Day (Nov. 11th) so that also added to the overall feelings of missing my dad. It was all good, most especially sitting with my sister and my step-mum, sipping scotch and talking about this and that. Here are some photos...
