So sorry to hear of your loss. May the fact that they are together again and she is pain free help you through this difficult time. Many prayers and much love for you and your family.

As you all know Dad passed away September 30/2023. Mom has been in a nursing home since August 2023. Dad and her were supposed to meet there but it was not to be.
On March 05/2023 Mom was rushed by ambulance to Emergency care. She was suffering from pneumonia, a UT infection and poor circulation in her legs. Mom passed away at 1:00 this morning.
Dad at 91 and mom 88 after 69 years of marriage they are together again. Their pain and suffering in now over.
Although sad our family is so happy they are finally free.
Cheers and Love to All.

Hopefully all goes good and home tomorrow in time to go to a concert in Toronto tomorrow night!!
Much love to all for the kind words and to those who have reached out! I love you all you amazing idiots!!!

Alrighty, so as many already know, i had a full teeth extraction done on Monday morning. Every thing went amazingly! Zero pain after, 26 teeth removed. Sent home same day with meds. The next afternoon i went to bathroom, had my 1st movement since surgery, came out pure blood. I figured i swallowed alot through night so i wasnt concerned. Next morning, even worse, so i went to emerg, they did blood work and everything came back perfect. They gave me a script for bleeding ulcers as they figured thats what it was due to the meds i was taking. Sent me home and told me to come back if it got worse or didnt change. Well within 2 hours of being home i went to bathroom again, 3 times in 20 minutes, and probably a liter of blood came out. Went back to hospital and they have admitted me. Had me on ivs through night and a schedualed scope at some time today down throat to see if ulcers and if not then a scope the other way tomorrow 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
Woke up this morn, still liquid movement...but... NO BLOOD!!!! So i am assuming it was bleeding ulcers as thats the meds they gave me through night. They still going to do scope to make sure today. Hopefully be discharged and home by tonight!
What a fuckin week huh, get every tooth yanked from head, then this. Hopefully all rainbows and unicorns after this!!!
Stormy will be back annoying ya all soon enough, cant get rid of me fhat easy!!!

Sending prayers  for Trevor's family, and friends. May he rest in peace ♥️  Thank you and your fellow first responders for all they do, day in and day out.

Some of you have probably seen the reports of the tragedy that not only happened in my neighborhood (5 houses down!) but also struck my firefighter family last night.
Many of you may (or may not) know that I have been volunteering at the Sterling Volunteer Fire Company for the past 15 years.
Last night my wife and I were finishing our dinner when I noticed a dispatch on my cell phone for an outside gas leak just up the street from my house.
These are generally routine calls, however, last night was anything but normal.  
Our crews arrived on scene to find an underground 500 gallon propane tank leaking.  As they normally do, they request a hazardous materials response to assist with these types of calls.
Within seconds the home literally exploded.  Our house shook like a plane crashed on it.  I bolted out front and saw the huge plume of smoke and a fireball that was taller than the trees.  I immediately knew what happened.
As a company photographer I grabbed my boots and my camera and bolted.  I was there in less than 3 minutes after the blast.  It was literally like a war zone.
We lost a brother last night.  And 7 others from my fire company were severely injured.  A few were released this morning, but others remain in the hospital.  Please say a prayer for them all.....
I want to thank those of you that reached out to me this morning.  You have no idea how much that means to me. 
 My wife and I, and our house are fine.  We are devastated at the loss of our beloved friend firefighter Trevor Brown.  And we are anxious to get the rest of our firefighters out of the hospital.
Please keep them all in your prayers....
