Today’s Dad’s birthday (Happy birthday Dad!) but also a day that I heard Gord Downie passed away.
Of course we all knew it was coming.
Vero was at a play tonight so it was just Sierra and I after work. We walked down to the mailbox where I picked up my SNES Classic which we were both excited about. It was a beautiful fall day at 20 degrees and leaves on the ground.
She made it halfway home before realizing I was using her as a pack mule.
We got home and had some supper together while I put on my favourite Hip album, We Are The Same for Sierra and I to listen to.
She didn’t put up too much of a fuss tonight, even though she’s had a cold for three weeks. We had a fun time splashing each other with bathwater and after the bath, we laughed by putting a hat on my head, then putting a hat on her head, then back and forth forever.
All the while listening to his music.
It’s definitely not going to get any easier in life when the people we care about pass away with each season, but I guess we have just have to appreciate what we have while remembering what they gave us.
It was a good day.
