under-fire

Friday was my final day in the military so I had a farewell luncheon. It was also the day I had to say goodbye to all of my friends who have become my family.

My dad doesn't like being the focus of these blogs. But today, I'd like to pay homage to Dad, because it's finally the day to celebrate him.

Several months after losing my Bull Terrier, Duncan, to a massive seizure, I've decided it's time for a new puppy, especially with the upcoming transition in my life.

Yesterday for work, my unit went up to visit the Canadian War Museum. I was awed by the sacrifice our soldiers have made and the fantastic way in which the war museum has presented it. And then I saw my Dad's own part of history and the awe only continued.

My illness is taking it out of me and I'm finding that just keeping up with daily life is difficult. So much so, that I don't even want to clean.
