“A Blog Break-Updated”

We are taking a bit of a break to deal with a family emergency. My sister Janice has been sick for quite some time and is now receiving end of life care.  Will keep you posted.

Update:

Janice passed away after a life time battle; many years of health struggles. She always had a wonderful positive attitude, and an amazing sense of humour despite her challenges and she will be missed by so many.

Over these past months I have held back telling Janice our plans to move, especially during this time when it was all coming together with the purchase of the property in Chemainus.  I felt it was too much of a contrast to her own health struggles and that it would be best not to share.  Now, I wish I had. Janice would have loved to have shared this together with me. Jim and I even picked our house plans based on how someone in a wheel chair (Janice) could easily access it, even though it’s build on a slope. I should not have held back, I wish I had told her.

Someone asked me the other day how I’m feeling (about losing my only sister) and at first I didn’t know how to describe it.  Now after some days have passed only one word comes to mind to describe how I feel – “alone”.

Janice I wish you could have stayed with us longer and had a better life with less struggles.

I love you.
