Vancouver

As I'm sure you all know, the most helpful assistance in getting through hard times or illness is to surround yourself with friends and family. Sadly, I don't have any here in Vancouver. Thankfully, my friend Chris from Kingston, who I happen to believe might have been my brother in another life, sent out an email to all the friends he has in Vancouver and asked if someone would take pity on me and be my friend. A lovely woman named Georgie was the only one to answer that email.

I finally have furniture, clothing, and a home, but I can't help but feel like something is missing.

My road trip across the country has finally come to an end, I have arrived in Vancouver, my new home.

As I embarked on my journey out west, I watched the city of Kingston get smaller in my rearview mirror. I was scared, but I knew it was the right decision.

During my house hunting trip last week, I finally found the apartment that I'm about to call home. And then last night, I realized I only have one more week at home with my family and the people I love.
