I am blogging today from Ottawa, from Winter, Justin and Boh's place. We are on are way back to Regina; the move back to the flat land has finally arrived. We drove all day yesterday and arrived in Ottawa at 9:30 pm AST. The weather was wet but no snow. That was GREAT as 'My Dustin" would say.
On Tuesday, November 13, the packers arrived and moved "stuff" into boxes and on Wednesday, the movers arrived and moved all the boxes into the transport truck. "A" and I cleaned like crazy and at 6:30 pm we were finished. In the cover of darkness, we decided to start of journey back to Saskatchewan. For me it was important we left on November 14 because it is a special day. It is "My Dustin's" birthday and I wanted to remember our departure from our Dartmouth home on a special day. So we did; we drove in the night and stayed in Amherst that evening.
'"A" and I called our Dustin from Amherst. He turned 7. He was GREAT and I can't wait to see him in a week. We are going to start our sleep over parties again. When I talk to Dustin, I always ask him who he is; I always want him to say that he is Gido's Dustin. Not because he is my favorite; I just want him to know that he is loved by me. He always will be no matter what. He will always be Gido's Dustin!
We wished him a Happy Birthday and told him we loved him. Dustin these are the Top 10 things I admire and love about you:
10. Dustin, you have a GREAT sense of humor!
9. Dustin, I want to thank you for coming to the hospital this past April (2007) to help Grandma take me home after my surgery.
8. Dustin, thank you for playing "I Spy" with me during your sleep overs!
7. Dustin, thanks for sitting on my lap when I was working on the Nova Scotia business model in 2001 and 2002. You always helped me remember what was (and is) important in my life!
6. Dustin, thank you for being so smart. I never knew a 3 year old that could do math like you. Even I forget the answer to 46 plus 5!
5. Dustin, thank you for helping me make Grandma's birthday cakes on February 25th during the past 2 years. They always turn out GREAT!
4. Dustin, thank you for being such a good brother to Demetrius and Aaliyah!
3. Dustin when you came to Nova Scotia during the summer of 2004 and stayed with Grandma and me, you did something very special. You turned our house on 40 Lakeview Ave. in dartmouth, into a home. When you told Grandma and me that you were "so happy", you made us cry inside!
2. Dustin is my first grandson to "carry" my Dad's last name. Super Gido was proud of that and so am I.
1. Dustin, thank you for coming to visit me on August 24th, 2001 ... it was a VERY GOOD DAY!

Can't wait to see you next Friday.
Your Gido.
