Real life

As some of you know, I had to fly unexpectedly to the Netherlands. My dad was really sick, and we were encouraged to have everyone close by.  I received the call Friday night, was able to find a ticket for Saturday, and set foot on Dutch soil within 30 hours. The first few days remained very critical, but the past few days have shown an improving pattern.  He is stable enough for me to fly back to Canada tomorrow morning, but I also know I will be back in a few weeks for Easter.
I apologize for the short message, but I will write a more detailed update later.
