Good morning FS friends
Another day begins. It is a rainy one here by the Mighty Niagara River. Will likely head outside as the rain is softening the soil and I have some pretty healthy sow weed, thistles, common buckthorn and other unwanted intruders to get rid of. Good thing too as in the physical effort, it tires the body and eases the soul. Gardening has always been my solace as well as my happy place.
Am planning to add a pond feature as there are some drainage issues and as a tribute to John. It was in the building of my first pond in 2005 at my old home where we first became a couple. We were solidly in the friend zone back then having lived in the same neighbourhood in the 90's. By the 2000's we had both moved from that neighbourhood, me going further east in Toronto, he moved to the west end.
During the course of my work travels to and from Montreal on the overnight train, there were times where he was the locomotive engineer. We'd meet on the platform at the end of the trip in Montreal and shoot the breeze. I mentioned I was going to put in a pond during my upcoming vacation, he had books and a video. He came to my home with the materials at the start of vacation, we had dinner together (where I cinderised some filet mignon). God love him. He was king of the BBQ who ate his steak medium rare and yet he ate my hockey pucks anyways.
The following week he came back to inspect my work. Apparently it passed as that day, August 5 2005, we started our journey as a couple. The journey was one with a bunch of twists and turns, ups and downs. Despite his inability to conquer the beast of alcoholism, he did his best to contain that disease whilst here visiting me. Whether it was through covid lockdowns, his broken ankle in 21, heart attack in 22 and more recently the cancer journey, we had become closer than ever with him spending the bulk of his time here. What was not in doubt, particularly in these last months was that we were in this together whatever may come. The depth of love and regard for one another was at a whole new level. I take comfort in knowing that he knew he was very muched loved before his passing.
And so it goes
Over and out
