Back to Reality

This is the last day ... in Ottawa. I had a lot of fun this past week and I must say, it flew by in a flash. I can't believe it has been a week. I found this time quite refreshing as I didn't have to worry about my upcoming treatments or buying or selling a house. I was just helping out my daughter, her great husband and my most interesting grandson. I also practised patience with my "A" as she went shopping to one of her favorite stores; Crouching Tiger - Hidden Dragon. I think I was a good husband (for the most part).

Today, we spent the afternoon at the CWM (Canadian War Museum). This is a must see if you are in Ottawa. There must have been a lot of tax dollars spent because they did a first class job on the various displays and exhibits. As we walked through the museum, I looked at all the young faces that were lost during this wars. As sad as the facts are, these unknown faces gave me a lot of gratitude. I am lucky. I have lived to 50 so far and plan a few more years, if it is meant to be.

To all those young men and women, thank you.
