Shawna Lynn is studying at Ryerson in Toronto. Her B'day is in a few days so we decided to have a get together on the weekend. Her Mom and Dad came over from Ottawa and we invited family to come and share some time with her. The usual fun and sharing of stories followed by some good food passed the time .With so many of our grandchildren in university there is plenty to talk about.
Futures were discussed and options pointed out but most of all there was that common bond of supporting each other in their choices.We adults take a back seat when the discussions get hot and heavy over the world issues and politics in general. For those who think our young people are not concerned and knowledgeable about the affairs of our nation and the world they should listen to our future leaders. There are concerns about our environment and the crisis in the many countries of the world. Our young people have a genuine concern and will make a difference.
Shawna is on her way to a good education as are the other grand children and I am confident that the future is bright for these young people and Canada will be a better place in which to live because of their contribution.
I really wish we could have been there... Happy birthday, and happy you all had a great time! X^D
