My Canadian Chronicles 007

I felt so nervous about meeting the people I was going to see, then we arrived and those nerves vanished within the hugs. Everyone said it would be all right, but I wasn’t sure. Now I know they were right. They have taken us under their wing making our holiday the best one we’ve ever had. The biggest sadness will be when we have to part and I know that when I leave I will be leaving a piece of my heart. I will never have any regrets for I know I have done the right thing. I have travelled thousands of miles to meet with friends that have made my heart sing. The words when you come back again brought tears to this humble man. Knowing that from being an outsider I finally found where I fit inside. The wellspring of friendship has overflowed with their kindness, the kind we are all looking for. I feel a warmth inside like I’ve never felt before. Each moment in their company stores more memories to treasure for as long as I may live. 9 June 2009
