Things are coming together!
I’m feeling a whole lot better today. For many reasons, not the least of which is my body seems to be healing from a really nasty cold I had this week. And my toe, which I’m quite sure I broke 3 weeks ago, is finally not throbbing anymore.
And, for those of you who remember, I found my birth family a few years ago? The rest of my birth mother’s family has been told of who I am, and that I’ll be coming out to Gimli next month for a family reunion. There’s a LOT of family. I’m quite overwhelmed, but in a very happy way… I can’t wait to meet many of them while I’m there for a weekend in July.
All of this recent activity on that front has had me looking back at the path I took to get to where I am today with them all… I’m so, so lucky that although my birth parents have decided not to be a part of the journey with me, the rest of the family has been quite amazing. I never would have imagined that I would be so welcomed.
I really have much to be thankful for.
I’m also deeply saddened that one of my uncles is too sick to make the trip out to Manitoba this year — Barry and I are hoping to drive down to see him this weekend, instead.

My mom was born in Gimli.
Congratulations
I hope you all have a wonderful time.
My weekend is half over – I’ve spent most of today playing with my little neice, but so far don’t have any plans for tomorrow.
Take care

Wow … meeting your birth family? That must be overwhelming.
Today is a pretty relaxing day but tomorrow, @sunkistdaisy, @thewolftamer and I are heading out for a day on the Kicking Horse … whitewater rafting! Stay tuned for updates!
Congratulations on these amazing things that are happening to you!

‘m a weekend too late but never mind – the last one I was home alone while LOML went to the Tour de France. This one I am taking my mother and sister to Scotland’s premier spa for a day of pampering … can’t wait!
