The Trip
At the time, I worked for a Toronto company that manufactured equipment for the food and pharmaceutical industries. My job was to assemble the equipment mechanically and sometimes travel to the customer's site to repair machinery or inspect it before the customer started production.

Pandemic our Teacher
This pandemic has changed the way we live and work, as various health and safety restrictions keep more of us at home more often. The resulting changes to our behaviour are already impacting the environment around us. Air pollution is diminishing, water quality is improving, and snow is becoming more reflective in some areas since the pandemic began.

Laughter
The story you are about to read was inspired by our Golden retriever, "Mei Li." She crossed the Rainbow bridge on Saturday September 24, 2022, but will live forever in our hearts as she has brought so much joy and laughter to our life's. You will understand why she is so important to this story before you reach the end.

The Scarlet Haired Maiden
“Never look in her eyes,” he said. “Look to the horizon and concentrate on the ship. Her charms are many and all-powerful, but you have to be strong. You have to look to the ship on the horizon.

Golden Girl
I have had a very difficult few days but have finally found the courage to edit this story. My wife and I had to make the most difficult decision of our life's on September 24-2022. We helped Mei Li end her pain and cross the Rainbow bridge. She has given us so much and in an act of pure love for her we broke our hearts into a million pieces.

The Honey Bucket Story
Dear Mom; It's May 6 2022 now, just two days before Mother's day. We are a long way from 1940, the year you were born, and 1959 when I was born. So many things have happened and so many memories have been created over that time; a lifetime of memories, good and bad, to look back on.
