Thanksgiving 2016

This is Thanksgiving Day 2016. Exactly 41 years ago today, I arrived in Canada with my life partner, (we met and married in Zambia), to be met by all immediate members of her family at Vancouver Airport. What a happy day! 

This Thanksgiving is very different. My life partner of 43 years has decided to end our marriage and move away. On November 1 we will no longer be together. I have no words to describe the complete dissolution of my life so will not struggle to find them. It is what it is.

I have cancer scans on October 16 and 18 and promise to let my friends know here how that story goes. I believe that will be the end of my blog until I reestablish some new kind of existence which I cannot even imagine now.

I am grateful for so many years of joy. I feel my life with my partner by my side has been beautiful.  Peace and love, Nigel
