The next on my list to introduce is Dan, my eldest son, and his wife, Tinah. Dan has just turned 33. (Is that dating me? Do the arithmetic... I was Mandy's age when Dan came along)
Dan is a Red Seal Chef. I am immeasurably proud of him! He is presently working in a Retirement Home but has had lots of experience in other facilities, including in a hotel in downtown Toronto. Not only is he a "chef extraordinaire", but he is a terrific daddy to two sweet little girls and a great big brother to Mandy and Bryan.
His passions are Hallowe'en and fishing, and his little girl is following suit.
I have often referred to Dan as "my rock." He has been a source of strength for me many times. He has also been there for his siblings when they have needed someone to lean on.
Tinah is working in a Large hotel in the downtown core. She is multi-talented, and bilingual, and has worked in many areas in this Hotel involving reservations etc. She is a wonderful mommy to Alexia and Delia, and I am sure that those two children will never want for fun and adventure with a mom like Tinah.
Dan and Tinah have been married for over four years now. Their lives are busy, and yet they still manage the time to make family a priority.
Did I say I was proud?

Dan sounds like a wonderful human being, you have raised a lovely family, isn't it wonderful to know your grandchildren have such terrific parents........:-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteOkay, Wendy, I went down to the bottom of your page and re-read your profile, so that I could make sure I remember who you are. I think for awhile I thought you were Whitney (I blame it on my age) and pregnant. But I see you have five beautiful children. The story of my children is here. Don't read it unless you are ready for a good cry.
ReplyDeleteI also have a sister who lives in Alberta. She married a Canadian so her three kids all speak with "eh" in their vocabulary. :-)
Lucky you to have such a beautiful family. I see why you are proud of your rock and his partner.
O Djan... Thank goodness I am not pregnant I looked after my grandson this weekend and I am exhausted! There are reasons why women who are my age do not have babies I have read the story of your children and cannot bear to go back. Such a very sad story. I am sorry....
ReplyDeleteHi Bernie! Yes... it is a great relief knowing that they are in the hands of such capable folks. They all treat me pretty well, too!
DJan... Thank you for sending the link . I went back and read the story of your sons. It has reminded me how lucky I am.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very courageous lady. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Wendy - I just called in to say Hi! I will be back, and I look forward to learning more about how you're getting on with stained glass. There's plenty to interest me too in your blog. X
