A Very Significant Date: August 28th

Yesterday, August 28, 56 years ago we came to Canada. Every year the date creeps up on me and then the flood gates open. It was a difficult journey for my family, part of which was sitting on an airplane for what seemed like days. Dad was introspective and brooding during most of the flights. Mom tried her best to keep my younger sister amused. My brother and I sat in silence most of the way. No books, no toys.

Over the weekend I wrote a piece about this monumental event. I share this with you here:>
