Well, I've officially surpassed my 2 years, of course the neurologist said 2-3 so I'm going for another milestone!  Although I feel I should be celebrating and grateful, it was an incredibly difficult and emotional day, it is an impossible thing to wrap your head around.  I was lucky to have the support of a thoughtful and understanding family, my mother and father in-law, Allan & Shirley, had arrived the night before and left a lovely message for me to wake up to:

A beautiful way to acknowledge the day!
We had a wonderful time visiting the Canadian Museum of History and IMAX, where we saw the incredible Jean-Michel Cousteau's Secret Ocean.  First day in Canada and a full cultural immersion with the "Rebellion and Confederation" exhibit.  This week we are heading to Mont Tremblant to appreciate our beautiful Canadian Fall Foliage.
