Stu’s really pushing the limits of the “in sickness and in health” part of our marriage vows.....
At least this time around I am armed with a 20% knowledge of medical terms + pharmaceutical drug names.....
We will do it....cause he doesn’t have a choice....❤️
This time she’s old enough to ask questions, worry a little more & wants to be a part of her dad’s journey. Yesterday she shaved her dad’s head so he wouldn’t have to constantly clean off his pillow because of all the hair that was falling out. ❤️

She was so ecstatic when she got one of the main parts in the “Charlie Brown Christmas” play this year....
She worked so hard at learning her lines and getting into her “Lucy” character...
She finally found her “thing” that boosted her self confidence.
So happy for her...❤️❤️
So over these last few weeks of “physically isolating”...some people have perfected their sourdough bread baking skills....I’ve perfected my sangria making skills....
Thought a lot about what to write today...
This one is for all the caregivers...the ones standing behind those who are battling for their own survival... (1)

A 7-year old girl from Ukraine made it safely to a refugee camp in Romania. It was her birthday and she thought she'd have to celebrate alone.
When the camp workers found out, they did this.
This is humanity.

Managed to be our usual sarcastic, attempt at funny, immature selves before his day of “stuff” started...and he even sent me home with a parting gift....laundry 🤣✅❤️

This is Mandy Hanson’s youngest son. Age 5.
He has progressive cerebellar atrophy and is physically handicapped. He also has 10 therapies a week.
Today, he took his very first independent steps.
This is the Twitter content I’m here for.🌎❤️
After 34 days in hospital, I’m being discharged. It’s the first part of a long journey, but I’ve learned to appreciate all the minor victories. Next up, focus on getting into remission and sleeping in my own bed! Stealing a hockey analogy, I’ve made the playoffs!

I don’t get the toilet paper hoarding. Yesterday I saw a lady with two full carts of just toilet paper. I don’t know why people aren’t stocking up on more snacks....I mean if a pandemic is coming — you’re going to need snacks.
The UK’s first socially distanced concert is happening now in Newcastle.
Attendees have their own private viewing area with 6-feet of space between them.
A whole new world...
Happy Birthday ❤️❤️🎉
Here’s to another year of sarcasm, rolling of the eyes, your bad jokes/dance moves & laughter. You’re one of the strongest, most loving/generous people I know (mixed in with cranky old man sitting on the porch yelling at people 😂😂)

90-year-old woman dies from Coronavirus after asking doctors to save ventilators for younger patients. "I had a good life, keep it for the younger ones."
Rest in peace, Suzanne. ❤️
It feels like the city is suffocating. It’s all very surreal and disconcerting. How long it will last, the question that everyone seems to be asking … is unknown and that is unsettling. 2/2

my whole life and I’ve never experienced anything like this. It’s like a thick fog rolled in… and the continued events of this last week… the weight of it is tangible. It’s exhausting. I see it people’s faces and hear it on their voices. 1/2
You forgot to add “I didn’t even wait for her to answer before I started in on the take out. I was so hungry and started eating my won ton soup, as she sat there, fully immersed in the moment, a tear falling down her face...collecting her thoughts before she replied with “yes”
This date in 2001, I got down on bended knee and proposed over take out from Golden Palace Restaurant. Let me know if you have more romantic questions 🤣
Errrmmmaaagggaaawwwdddd I was carded at the LCBO today. She had to say it twice because I was all like “what me?”… I’ve never been so happy to hand over my ID 😂😂😂

After explaining to these less than fine Canadians of the hallowed grounds upon which they trode, this was their reaction in the name of Freedom. Unsat!
Have the ugly cry.
“Me” time isn’t selfish - you’ve earned it. And you need it.
Take care of you.
Feel it all.
And know that tomorrow is a new day.
A fresh start.
And that you’ve got this.

This 79-year old grandmother was boarding a flight for a vacation.
She had no idea that her own granddaughter was the pilot.
This is the moment her granddaughter surprised her.

In Canada, a 13-year old girl left her bicycle out on the driveway, with a sign that said "free to a good home."
The next day, the bike was gone. A 7-year old found it, and left this note behind.
It will restore your faith in humanity.

America the most important vote of your life is coming up in the November election.
Please go vote. Please go vote.
Amazing news to wake up to. Marc Vinette has been found. From his brother on FB: “Marc Vinette has been found. He is alive and is in capable medical hands.”

Holy crap America. It’s a circus. Press conferences = tantrums and meltdowns. Every. Single. Time. This is not leadership. How can anyone watch him and vote for him? Howwwwwwwwww????

Just spent 20 minutes cursing loudly at my mouse for not working on my laptop.
I was seconds away from emailing tech guru at work....
And then I realized it wasn't plugged in....
It's time for wine.
Back for a 2nd bone marrow transplant. 1st they wipe out my immune system (chemo) then next Wed, I get another kick at the can thx to a new generous donor. Then I’m here for a while until my blood levels are where they should be. Let’s do this!

Today marks our 60th anniversary! We had pictured this day a little differently. Usually we would have prepared thousands of eggrolls and seen you all in line for half-price eggrolls.
Here’s to 48.

Only two away from the big 5-0 (c’est pas possible 😱).
Thank you for all the birthday love, wishes and messages.
Can’t wait for hugs.
It’s gonna get awkward - I’m hugging everyone. Multiple times.
It was a pretty awesome day. xoxo
❤️❤️❤️😘
You will not attempt any renovations whatsoever Schwartz. And to ensure this, I have taken all your tools and and things that you could possibly use as renovation-y type things at a random neighbour’s house.
I’ve reached the stage of pandemic clothing options where PJs aren’t cutting it for me anymore...I’m looking for something even more comfortable. I’m now going to be embracing the caftan lounge wear look.
I shared this once already. But I’m doing it again. The world has been filled with so much crap and negativity lately — that this embodies the hug we all need. It’s such a beautiful and amazing moment. You feel it...it makes you happy and hopeful. ❤️❤️

Hi everyone, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Earlier today, our staff and volunteers experienced harassment from convoy protestors seeking meals from our soup kitchen. The individuals were given meals to diffuse the conflict. Management was then informed of the (1/2)

Holy shit. Katie Porter holds the CDC Director's feet to the fire and gets him to commit to FREE TESTING for coronavirus for ALL AMERICANS.
Watch every second of this.
I’m so sorry for your family’s loss. We were all blessed to have crossed paths with him. He inspired so many of us. I will miss his laugh and his hugs. He gave the best hugs. We will never forget you Brian. We love you. ❤️
So we wished Brian a Bon-voyage with a Sens win. Brian Fraser passed away tonight after a hard fought battle. We know he is at peace and looking for ways to watch down on us🙏🏻🙏🏻
