While the plane was taking off from Toronto airport, I was thinking how hard it was to say goodbye to my family. I wished I could stay but then C’est la vie, that’s life. I just try to avoid saying the word as much as I can. A “see you later alligator!” instead is less troubling.

On a lonely planet called Earth, it’s good to be spoiled and showered with love every now and then. I noticed I laughed more, had less pain and liked the frequent hugs. The magic of touch! Did you know touch has a memory of its own?
