Le cimetière de Cocagne :
My maman beside my uncle Claude's tombstone.

My grandfather passed away
this morning around 7 am. He was 95 years old.

It's ironic how I extended my stay and changed my flight the day before he passed away. Like in some strange way I knew that it was his last few days with us.

The last picture is my uncle talking with my grandmother... it has been very hard on her.

Eulogy

Je pleur en silence,
toute une vie,
toute mon enfance...
je pleurs mes souvenirs et même les vôtres,
je sourit dans mes larmes en me rappelant d'une chanson...(moi j'te dit qu'ta un beau casque que j'aimerait de l'avoir yé manière de plate y doit être chaud pour l'hiver)
je pleurs ton regard engravé dans mon coeur...
ton sourire..
cette p'tite phrase "ont dirait qu'tu comprend pas" cette manière si spéciale pour dire ... : JE suis là"
aujourdhui Daddy malgré cette peine qui m'habite..
aujourdhui et ça parce que Je t'aime beaucoup...
Je te dit ... vas y mon beau ...REPOSE TOI...

Photo de Debbie et Silmar - we were invited to a very nice dinner at Debb and Sylvain's home.

Moi et Silmar -- I think I was starting to get a bit tipsy at this point of dinner.

Moncton, New Brunswick

Today Silmar and I are flying to NB on CanJet! I am SO excited!! Just looking forward to seeing everyone back home. I haven’t seen my family and friends since my last trip home in December 2004. I plan to take Sil on a couple of day trips and he'll be staying at Debb and Sylvain's house, since they already all met last December while he was in Moncton on a business trip. I will also be visiting my grandfather who is in the hospital and not doing so well. He recently turned 95 at the beginning of the month!! I hope I get to live that long.

"If you're holding a Jetsgo ticket you have a few options: Customers who bought Jetsgo tickets through travel agencies should call their travel agents and customers who bought using their credit cards should call their credit card companies. If you paid by credit card, you should be able to get your money back from your card issuer. Contact your card issuer as soon as possible so your card issuer can review your situation on an individual basis."

This brings back some bad memories... Silmar, Amanda and I had all bought tickets for our trip to the east coast, NB for May 2005 with JetsGo. We were so looking forward to this trip until the morning we heard on the radio about JetsGo (more like JetSucks!) grounded their fleet of planes and called it quit. Man, was I ever upset! We all got our money back but only Silmar and I got new tickets with CanJet. Amanda decided not to come on this trip.
