a little story
john's paternal grandfather died on february 18 - his grandfather was a veterinarian and was on a house call with his intern during a winter storm - on their way home they were both struck by a train and died. when john was born on the same date 18 or so years later - his aunt said that now they have something good to think about on that date. much love to you john from all of us!
enjoy your weekend everyone - it's suppose to be warm in toronto and monday is a statutory family day holiday - I think we will be visiting the r.o.m. xxa
happy b-day, John

interestingly enough, my dad's father died on my b-day as well. he had always thought my birthday was the day before and it always made me wonder...
