Proud Grandparents

Megan was always a great student. She was also artistic and learned Modern Art by painting her Aunt Lynda"s white carpet with red lipstick. Some young people naturally gravitate to school and learning and Megs was one of these people. A bright, cute little girl who had a mind of her own and a will to succeed. One of her favourite expressions was..I do it myself.

This attitude carried her all the way through school and life. Her sense of justice and what was right challenged her friends sometimes but she never backed off. I was most proud of her when she made decisions that caused her to sometimes create conflicts but she never took the easy way out. A natural athlete coming from a background of athletic parents and families brought her success in the difficult field of gymnastics and as a tiny tot she excelled. Hockey and every other sport interested her and it was always a treat to see this little bombshell on the ice taking on girls much bigger than herself.

Secondary school brought out the organized young lady and her success came with hard work and carefully set goals. Life was not all school and education as she was a member of large families on both sides and managed a busy and happy relationship with her extended families. Personally Theresa and I have been so proud of Megs because of the manner  in which she carried forth all her good traits  to university. Again she excelled and graduated with an honours degree in the four year program.

Megs social conscience placed her in the social workers network and I know she will do well in her field. I tried to will her into the education field where I know she would be a tremendous asset to any school staff. Just maybe she will end up there some time in the future.

Megs has a bright future in any field but for we who love her wish that she never looses that sparkle, zest for life and genuine concern for her family that she shows at every occasion when we get together. Some of us are aging and now bask in reflected glory of our young family members achievements. Well, Megs has done that and more and we will have much more to admire and share in the future.
