Remembering my Brother.
It is its great sorrow that I write this post. I lost my little brother this month to Covid-19 and its complications. It was surreal to get the call that he had caught the virus and then over a month later to be told he was no longer with us. One of my favorite memories of him as a little boy was my first day of school. I could not wait to get home from school at lunch time to see him and when I came through the door, we ran into each others arms and gave each other a great big hug! We were on the journey of life together, we had our different paths in life, his, the military, mine the pharmaceutical business, but we always talked to each other and enjoyed each other’s company throughout out life. I remember the excitement we had for our Alberta adventure when we moved from Nova Scotia to Alberta. As we drove across Canada, we continually sang Ian Tyson’s song Alberta Bound. By the time we got to Calgary we knew all the words. After I left home for University, most of our time together was in family visits and vacations, as we did not spend many years in adulthood living in the same city at the same time. Brothers are special and my relationship with Brian was extra special. We had dreams that we could spend more time together in retirement, but that will not be the case as Covid-19 took him way to soon. Please remember Brian who was a great bother, husband and father. From his ever-loving brother. Scott ❤️❤️❤️
