Tough Day!

Well yesterday was a tough day here. Papa McKinnon is fine, he's in Halifax. They are going to do a dye test today and if they find a blockage they will do an angioplasty right away, if that doesn't work then I am sure they will do a by pass, hopefully they won't send him home to wait and change his mind, they will just do it.
We also got news yesterday morning before we left for Halifax that a young girl on Elysia's soccer team had died the night before. Falon Urquhart was only 14 and died in an apparent suicide. I could not believe it, we had just spent the whole day with her and there was nothing to indicate that she was upset about anything, she spent the days on the rides with her friends, participated in the magic show at Upper Clements, played a soccer game, had a conversation with one of the girls on the other team she knew through volleyball. Apparently there was a lot going on in her little life and this is what she chose to do...Elysia and I had a long conversation about alot of things last night. It's certainly not the type of conversation you want to have to have with a 12 yr old. She was upset and could not understand why someone would do that. Very sad day.
Nann is here with us, we picked her up at the hospital to get her yesterday, we will take her back later. Graham and Elysia are thrilled that she is here and that they got to see Papa yesterday at the hospital.
