Happy Canada Day !

I could not let this day go by without acknowledging my birth country's one hundred and forty third birthday!

Very young indeed.

One year ago this morning was the last time my mother called to wish me a Happy Canada Day.

This was the day before she began having a series of strokes which took her life after two weeks of fighting their effects.

She was a very proud Canadian who took every opportunity to show it.

This one's for you Mom. Happy Canada Day!
