There are few sons who would demonstrate such tenacity and courage to see their mothers but I am one of those rare treasures. It took me 2 months and 4000 kms but I finally got to see her. The 14 km bike ride into Uxbridge wasn't too challenging and it was good to see her again. She cooked me a delcious lunch and was very happy to help me finish off her tub of Velvet ice cream and her Voortman Cookies. I think the Voortman cookies were the limited edition commerating the war of 1812 becuase they were not unlike the hard tack that the soldiers were issued as rations. Luckily, my standards have shifted to new lows. She has a new cat to add to her old one (Pippy) and her terrier (Beau). We did a quick walk around to meet people and pets and then went to Swiss Chalet for dinner. It was packed but we managed to have a good meal and good conversation. My wife Megumi had money on me quitting my tour in Edmonton and then after that bet lost, her "to show" bet was Toronto because I would have seen my family. We'll see if her prediction comes true!
