In Loving Memory

April 19, 1950 – February 4, 2009

“Good night, sleep tight,
See you in the morning,
I love you, nighty night,
Sweet Dreams, toodle-doo.

Trees, woods, flowers,
Sunshine,
Love in your heart,
School busses and trucks.”

– Ann Pierson
Poem she tucked me in with at night, growing up.

My Mom left us, suddenly, yesterday morning.  She died peacefully in the care of her family at Swedish Hospital’s Neuro-science Intensive Care Unit.  Cairin, Dad, her sister Aileen and I held her, talked to her, and kissed her as she passed away.

I’ve not only lost my Mother, but my best friend…  my confidant…  my mentor…  my teacher…  my hero.  I’ve learned so much, yet so little from her in my short 28 years.  I couldn’t have asked for a better Mother.

She touched so many lives.  Giving so much to everyone and asking for so little in return.

I have a big hole in my life and a big hole in my heart.

Mom:  Thank you for everything.  The man I am today…  everything I have in my life…  my successes…  my failures…  the lessons I learned are because of you.  You did so much for me.  I will be forever grateful.  I love you.

 

The family will publish an Obituary and a Memorial Service date later this week.  More information will be available, soon.  In the meantime we appreciate your thoughts, your prayers, and words of kindness.

Jasper had a bath…

He spent the night at the vet last night. Had a massive UTI.
Poor buddy boy came home smelling like pee… Eww…

Ha ha…

WTF?

WTF? Its fraking April…

The gods must be angry…
Are you kidding me? Its fraking April and were having to deal with this BS? What the hell is up?
Regards, Mike

This is what happens when there is no coffee…

From Friday morning… Regards, Mike

I’m alive…

Sorry for the lack of blog posts lately…

I promise I have a lot to tell, and when I get a moment, I will.  :-)

My Canadian politics are rusty…

Today was election day in Alberta…  I’m lost…

Chad says (7:26 PM): this is the first election for Ed Stelmach…and he did things that upset some of the big funding groups and voters in areas…if he does not win a large majority…those behind the funding my try and force him out

Michael says (7:26 PM): Okay.

Chad says (7:27 PM): is it making sence?

Michael says (7:27 PM): No.

Chad says (7:27 PM): sigh…..

Michael says (7:27 PM): Sorry. Who is Ed Stelmach?

Chad says (7:28 PM): he is the Leader of the PC party and the Premier of the provence

Michael says (7:29 PM): Oh, okay. Thank you. Now it makes sense.

Chad says (7:31 PM): good

Michael says (7:32 PM): So, why did you have to vote?

Chad says (7:33 PM): it was a province wide vote

Chad says (7:35 PM): only less than 100,000 people actually vote for the premier…and even if the premier loses his riding, he is still the premier

Michael says (7:36 PM): So, he can lose but still be in office?

Chad says (7:37 PM): yes….it has happened before in 1986…what usually happens is if he loses…someone in a “safe” riding steps down and there is a by election just for the riding so the premier is in the house

Michael says (7:37 PM): Oh.

Clear as mud… *sigh*

Too cute!

I want one… as long as it never grows up!

Snow!

Have about 5 inches of the stuff. Telecommuting today. :)
