Loved reading about this part of your life. Why wouldn’t you? Love it. My parents were very, ‘why wouldn’t you?’ and yet two out of three of their children are risk adverse. My youngest brother, though had an amazing, adventurous life.

Potent one, as always Bernadette. My prairie boy dad had a similar reaction to my brother moving away to live in the Caribbean. It wasn't until we visited my brother for my dad to get it, and it was best illustrated in a song he wrote shortly after. The lyric was:

"Sometimes a young man can remind an old man that dreams do come true

Sometimes they do

Sometimes they do."
