Gotta make a public announcement.
It's totally long over-due.
I want to thank my parents for their particpation in my moving to Alberta.
From the very beginning they were there for me without question.
Both there to greet me at the airport.
Both there to show me around the city.
Both there to console me while I had break downs.
Both there to enourage me while I grappled with the magnitude of my move and change in lifestyle.
Mom to take me shopping and to dinner at Moxie's.
Dad to sit me down at the coffee shop armed with pen, paper, addresses and a new attitude.
Mom to send me care packages filled with long johns and chocolate.
Dad and I to be in the right place at the right time, with a 3 minute window - to get the job I now hold.
Lastly, both of them to love me through my sad days, bad days and bad moods.
I couldn't have done this move without you.
And I want the world to know.
Having said that, I don't want to discount the role my siblings have played in this either. I am reliant on your prayers and emails to keep going. The life I live up there isn't all sunshine and lollipops and every little bit of communication helps.
xo to you all.
L.
