Well, as most of you know I made a very short, but WELL worth it trip home this weekend - to Canada. Was able to get home (after an 8 hour delayed flight from Gatwick) and see my granny. She seems to be doing much better than I was expecting. It was great to visit with her, and see her enjoy a few presents from England I brought her. She is in a very nice home about 5 minutes from my grandma's and seems to be well looked after.
Phillip, Moi, Granny & KatharineIt was all very surreal being back home - there is something to be said for being in a different country and coming home for the first time. I felt extremely patriotic seeing all the things you ONLY see in Canada - Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire (you would think I would be sick of seeing this place after seeing pretty much EVERY single store in Canada), Petro-Canada and of course being around people that UNDERSTOOD my language!! Although, I did have a year 9 today in one of my classes tell me that she feels like she understands when I speak because she has a lot of family in America - it was very cute, but then I worried that they really don't understand my words - haha.
Although I am still COMPLETELY knackered, I would make the trip again in a heart beat. Time with family can never be a waste, or a regret. I am so very thankful that I have such an amazing and close family that are completely worth flying "over 4000 miles" for a couple hours and days of visiting.
Continue to keep my granny in your prayers - she has many goals left to fulfill! She is counting down the days until the Royal Wedding and told me she always thought she would live to be 100.
I will continue to share more pictures from the weekend as they get sent to me.
Much love. xo
