There is no sign of baby yet even though Emily's tummy is getting sore from false labor pains. She sees her midwife once a week until the baby is born. So far, the midwife has been predicting that the baby will not arrive early. So, everybody, have patience.
In the meantime, my mom got all of her income tax returns done. It is a relief for her to get caught up. Now she can start to catch up on other backlogs. One of these days, she will be able to have a life again.
With my mom's support, I applied and interviewed for inclusive post-secondary education at Grant MacEwan and NAIT. Unfortunately, I have not been accepted. My mom was not hopeful that I would. She tried anyway because it is not right to give up without trying.

Beautiful Blooms
My mom left for Vancouver Thursday morning. After she left home, she realized that she had no map. She continued on her journey, as she didn't want to waste time going home for the maps. She figured she could find her way to Vancouver and then to Emily and Peter's apartment. She arrived safely at around 8 pm. as planned.
As my mom drove over the Rockies, it was still brown everywhere until she reached Hope, British Columbia. Suddenly, it became all lushly green. It was like driving from one season into another. Vancouver is beautiful with cherry blossoms all over the city. Many other flowers are also in bloom creating multitudes of spring colors.
Emily is now staying home awaiting for the arrival of her baby. While my mom was still in Edmonton, she was too busy to get excited. Now that she is in Vancouver and seeing how big Emily is, her excitement starts to mount.

It's A Small World
My Grandma is giving away her entertainment unit. As she cleans out her stuff, she comes across a few old, old records of children songs. One of them is "It's a small world". I look at the picture on it and it brings back memories of the ride at Disney World. I hang onto this record and refuse all the other ones. I make my mom play the song over and over again. I laugh out loud as I look at the pictures of the ride and listen to the music.
When I want my mom to put the record on, I sing to her, "Dum dum dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum".
