like father, like daughter

We finally got to celebrate Dad’s life with friends and family this month. I miss him every day and I know I’ll miss him every day for the rest of my life. 

So much has happened that I wish I could tell you but until then, I’ll have a cold one on you. Thank god your taste in drinks improved with age lol

Love you, Dad 💛

It’s been 627 days since I was last in Canada - that’s a lot of days!

It’s been pretty comforting seeing the familiar sights and I’m grateful to be home.
💛💛💛
