Nancy I’m so sorry to hear this. I remember meeting Joey at your home a long time ago before graduation. You loved him then. I’m sure you have fabulous memories that’s going to help you get through this very difficult time.
We’re thinking about you, Chris. Be it Halifax to Cape Breton or St. John’s to Burin, we’re all linked to the surrounding ocean.
As the old saying goes, the sea tides ties us all together and proivde a powerful connection. I’d say your Dad’s on the water now – somewhere between NS and NL, and will always keep a eye on you and the girls.
