I came to Canada to learn but then I stayed to build a better version of myself and give back to the country that gave me a second chance in life
. That chance meant that I needed to move West and when I left Toronto and my tiny apartment next to Ann and John, I left behind their unconditional love. But it would continue to hold me straight and firm.
On a torrid July evening, countless family and friends and fellow “adoptees” thronged the house on Indian Road and its magic garden. Energized by the heat and a rapturous rain, by laughter and chatter scattered like little candles, we celebrated John’s spirit, moulded by intellectual curiosity and scientific exploration.
“You are having your wedding here!” they exploded in unison. And we could not refuse that irresistible offer to marry in the garden of dreams, the garden where we all met. A violin, a clarinet and a cello played near the garden bench and spoke what the trees, bushes and blushing flowers could not say, what the sun whispered, and wind tempered, what vows promised, and hearts hoped.
