Today I am helping Maur and Steve pack up their apartment. They head home Thursday May 31st. sniff..sniff. Its been nice having a place to call home with long time buds. We are listening to 90's music while we pack...bringing Maur and I back to the party daze. Ode the wild women we were. LOL.
Its an American holiday today. Memorial Day--similar to our Remembrance Day. Well today I remember my Grandfather---he was a veteran. He was in the American Air force I do believe. He was a role model in Mi'kmaq tenacity, will, wit and rez smarts. He married my Grandmother young and they had three children. My dad was the youngest. The marriage with my Grandma did not last for whatever reasons and he moved on. I imagine that was a difficult time for my grandmother. In many areas of his life, he taught himself very difficult things--he was a pilot, a mechanical engineer, an entrepreneur. Love ya Mitata. Happy Memorial Day!!
