There was a day when I thought when I died I would not have. A single soul come to the funeral. One thing that always remained in my thinking was that today does not rule my tomorrow. Apparently a lot of people have realized what the two of us have. We are getting married in two days .

Embarking on the journey of a lifetime. Monday, December 29, 2008. Both of us ended up getting sick over Christmas break, so that inevitably limited our plans.

Thursday, February 28, 2013. As I write this, my heart is heavy. Yet I am able to see humour in the events, nonetheless. They say bad things come in threes - well, I was raised to believe that they do and to arrest the arrival of the imminent, one broke a pencil, toothpick, stick. So ingrained is it in my psyche, that I believe it still to this day. First to happen was my lovely Tiger Lily died. Next came a wee accident to my car. Now after this, I thought that I should break a toothpick.
