Today I am reflecting on the privilege of being alive, growing older, being loved, and belonging to a supportive community as I am saddened by the loss of a wonderful, warm human being gone far too soon.

Love the ones you’re with.
And for those you’ve lost, cry lots and remember well.

My Canadian-Chinese father fought for this country in World War II while being denied the right to vote, although he was born in Toronto. Wearing a poppy and walking the Field of Crosses every year is one way I honour him.
