A few things to ponder,
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
- Anais Nin -
I am expanding my life by having the courage to be vulnerable through expressing myself in this blog. Learning about others' experiences ensures that I won't shrink.

The Sister's Last Phonecall...Just Getting Some Grief Out...
Dedicated to my Sister, Cindy Morrianna Hucul Peterson
June 23, 1961 to August 26, 2009
On Wednesday, August 26, 2009 my sister, Cindy, left me a message on my answering machine. It said, “Hey Sherry, it’s me Cindy. Just calling to see how your appointment went yesterday. Give me a call back. I love you. Bye.” I had it saved for 5 months before erasing it by mistake a few days ago.
My second oldest sister, Cindy, was an R.N. who worked in the Baby Unit at a Women’s Centre – Hospital in Utah, U.S.A. She was planning on coming home to Ontario, Canada to visit family and friends and be there for the birth of my 4th baby (Alec is 14, Maggie-Mae is 12 and George is 10). I was around 34 weeks’ pregnant and high risk. It had been 10 years since my last baby was born and this pregnancy was an early 40’s surprise. Our oldest sister, Shelley, was planning a trip from B.C. to Ottawa at the same time. She would stay with our other sister, Melissa, who is between Cindy and I in age. Cindy was determined to reunite Melissa and I during her visit as we had our differences after our Mother died and weren't on speaking terms. Cindy wanted to have photos taken of ‘Us 4 Girls’. She said that life was too short and she wanted us four to get together.
