My father died two weeks ago.
But as my mother starts her new life without him,
and my siblings and I return to our own lives,
there will remain a piece missing.

But room enough,
for a new branch to grow.





Just as more then 10 years ago when the mother of my children died,
leaving behind a great hole,
that we all tried in our own ways,
to cover over.

My sisters and I spent a lot of time in the hospital with our Dad,
as his cancer slowly took him away from us.
But on one particular day, I looked out the window of his room.

There is so much beauty in the every day,
even when life feels unfair
there are moments,
when the ordinary seems extraordinary.

I spent many days in the hospital with my father,
as he began his journey to the next world.
One evening on the way back to West Kelowna...
