Grandsons in Mississauga

Mike just returned from a month-long French Canadien immersion course and
entertained  us with the differences in word use and pronunciation. 

Judy let Kevin pick from her drove of paintings and he picked three.
Great choice! They match his bedroom décor.

I'm on Vancouver Island this week. I just attended my uncle David L McKay's wife Irene's funeral. She was a lovely and graceful woman. Here I am with my father's two brothers. Lots of family resemblance with the McKay men. — with Bill McKay and David L McKay.

The Best Father?

Whenever I picked Ken up to do his favourite activity, i.e., visit Chapters (Rock 'n Roll magazines)and Licks (large coke), he'd say,
"Dad you are the best Father I've ever had."
I don't it occurred to him that I was also the worst.

Irene

Dear Brothers

Last Saturday (May 31st) I called the ambulance for Irene as she blood pressure and heart rate were down.  She had not swallowed food or water since the previous Wednesday. At the hospital they put her on an “IV” and gave her oxygen. This morning her doctor pulled me aside and told me she is not responding to treatment (I could see that myself). The doctor gives her 48 hours and if she does not respond, then they plan to remove the “IV” and oxygen.  I will take her home where she will be with me on her last days. She would want that.

Irene and I had a wonderful marriage ...how can one be so lucky?

Love

Dave
