Mother's Day a la ZOOM


My brother Liam joined us on our Mother's day ZOOM call from his pad in Halifax.  He is as full of life as ever and looking trim.  


My brother Caleb (St. Stephen) pictured here rocking a do-rag and an Irish shirt with headphones...typical Caleb.  He's been learning how to bake bread recently.  He says it's adding to his waistline!  Hey Caleb, you got a long way to go before your waistline catches up with mine.  :(

Dad and Mom joined in the ZOOM call from their home in St. Stephen.  Ollie is asleep between them.  They are holding strong in the midst of all this.  Both are still working at the special care home with the disabled.  I'm not sure where they get the energy - except that it comes largely from their faith.  They are like, "Steady as she goes!" and get through it all somehow.  



ZOOM on Mother's day was the first time we all spoke together at the same time since the virus.  No telling how long that will be the norm, with borders closed between our provinces. 

So, what did we discuss?  Nothing too serious.  It was good to just be together. 

And, considering Mom's battle with cancer several years ago, we all feel blessed to have her with us.  

She's the glue.
