Half My Life

I've been with her for more years than I've been without her.

We met when I was 22 and started dating on my 24th birthday. As she has put it with our friends, "I didn't have a birthday present, so, you know..."

I like to think that I wooed her with three words: "Let's get naked."

And while we've been together for more than 35 years, today marks the 30th year since we've made our commitment to one another official.

We've travelled the world together, experienced new things. We've had our ups and downs but have weathered it through. We have two beautiful, wonderful children who have added to the joy of our union.

It's been a great adventure.

We don't know what the future brings (who does?) but we know that we'll face it together.

After all, we've been married for more years than either of us has been unmarried.

With Glowing Hearts

We're not perfect but we strive to be among the top countries in the world. And I'm proud to call Canada home.


There are some who claim that Canada is broken but those that do have clearly not travelled abroad. Those who say that this country is broken clearly have an agenda that is not sincere.

Sure, we could be better, but if we work together, we can achieve anything. 

Happy Canada Day!
