I was clinically depressed and struggling with an anxiety disorder. My life was a bag of broken pieces. I had lost my sense of self and purpose. Eventually we married. The children shared our vows. There is not a day that I am not grateful for those friends and that magic date.We all live in a big yellow house overlooking a pond. It's the house Andy bought with Meg just before she died of breast cancer. This is where we began weaving our families together.
Meg's favourite photo of herself was of her tree planting in northern British Columbia, long before she was a mother. I've framed this photo of Meg and put it on the shelf with all our family photos, so she'll be there for the children too.While I am different from Meg, I have the same deep love for nature, adventure, family, music and the literary arts. Meg's desire for the boys to be raised with these values has blended perfectly with my own approach to parenting.
I could see the depth of Granny's sorrow for her daughter who had died young, the entwining of gratitude and heartache for all she had lost, and all she had gained.I have framed this photograph with Kate's arm embracing an empty space. The only two people not visible in the photo are Meg…and me. It's an accidental selfie, so to speak.
