Remembering Baby Anessa

There are no good-byes for us.

Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts.

~ Mahatma Ghandi

On Sunday, August 7, 2011 the world welcomed twins girls, Anessa & Aisha into this world.

Anessa said hello to her family for an hour before she grew wings & left this world.

Born at 33 weeks, these girls were already so very beautiful - and their Caucasian-Middle Eastern ethnicity was already obvious.

Little Anessa, you will be missed much by your parents, Aisha, and the many people around you called Family.

Remembering Grandpa Jake

My father-in-law, Jake,  passed away a few weeks ago after a short but aggressive battle with cancer.  He was a jovial & caring man, and he will be missed by many, especially his 4 children, 4 step-children and my mother-in-law.   My son, who is now nearly 2 years old, will grow up not knowing his Grandpa Jake, although we have photos of him perched on his grandfather's lap on each occasion that we visited them in Saskatchewan or they visited us in Calgary.

We'll miss you, Grandpa Jake!
