Just called my mom to let her know I’m at the airport. She left me a message earlier when I was at work that she made curry for dinner. Yum! 😋

Landed in Kelowna and on the way to Mom’s place. Her dog Coco was with her waiting for me in the arrivals.

Mom hugs are the best hugs

Going for lunch with my mom and brother

Fuck, we just drove by my dad’s old neighbourhood and I burst into tears.

😭

This is the first time I’ve been to Kelowna since my dad passed so it feels like it just happened. I haven’t cried this much over him in a long time. Asked Mom to take me to where his ashes are.

💔

My dad’s ashes were scattered at Gellatly Heritage Regional Park in West Kelowna. It’s a lovely location. There was a deer there when we arrived. There are paths winding through the park with memorial plaques throughout.

I’ve been crying on the plane and train. Now waiting for the SeaBus. While at my mom’s place, I took photos of a bunch of childhood photos and sent some to friends. One of my friends (we met when my family moved in 2 doors down from her family when she was 3 and I was 4) responded with the sweetest text:

Aw!!! Those are awesome! Thank you for sending them to me! Look how awesome we were! You are still the best thing that happened to me in my life!!

🥰

#GratefulBee

Now on the bus home from the SeaBus. What an exhausting trip. I needed to do it but it took a lot out of me. Once I get home, I have to go out to get groceries. I didn’t want to order grocery delivery in case my flight was delayed and it did end up being delayed.

#Today

When I got home, I told my apartment that I love it

Groceries put away. Suitcase unpacked. I am now in my well-deserved sloth mode

@StacieBee How comforting to know that part of your dad rests in such a beautiful spot. Peace.

@Barbramon1

Thank you. I went back again on my own later yesterday. It was an exhausting day

@StacieBee And those firsts always hurt like hell 😔

@WirlOfWirls

Thank you. It was a tough day but I got through it. I still have a headache

@StacieBee You need some Tom Waits 🎶In the neighborhood🎶.
@StacieBee Awww, that would have been extremely saddening, sending you hugs 😔 💞
