If ever there was a moment when a parent needs his children, it’s the moment when that parent loses his parent. When the end of the road is the only thing on the horizon, it would be a comfort to be able to turn around and look the other direction. To see the face of your loved one in the next generation.

Just this week, I had inquired about an old friend and her battle with cancer. She’s doing surprisingly well, came the response. The next day was her birthday, and it was suggested that I be in touch. I declined — our paths had diverged years ago. I mentioned the years when we lived in each other’s kitchens, when our families gathered to trick or treat, when we’d laugh ruefully about wild nights when we shamelessly kept adolescent shenanigans alive well into adulthood. Indelible, those times.

One injured after shooting at Weston Collegiate in Toronto, school in lockdownToronto police say a person has been taken to hospital by emergency run after a shooting at a school near Jane Street and Lawrence Avenue West. Wait I thought everything was tickety -boo here in Toronto. Wait what Justin banned guns, how is this possible? The longer we ignore the problem, the bigger the problem will get.
