I spoke with Dan last night and again tonight. First of all, on the train from Toronto to London yesterday he ended up in First Class! There were only two fares available (Comfort and First Class) and there must have been some auto-upgrade since I booked him Comfort to save a bit of cash. So last night for supper he had arctic char, unlimited wine, a chocolate dessert and people serving him food pretty much the whole trip. I’m sure it was an appreciated experience after all he’s been through with school (i.e. hardly sleeping or having any time off) these past weeks.
Dan’s sister Susy and his brother Joe were able to come from Alberta and he (and possibly them too) were able to see their grandmother at the funeral home last night. The funeral was today and so was the burial. Dan was a pall bearer. So within 24 hours Dan’s experienced a viewing, funeral, being a pall bearer and seeing a burial – quite an experience to have it all happen so fast, I am sure. He will be taking the train back tomorrow and I look forward to having him back (after all, he has the mailbox key and is the only one who knows how to make espresso…).
Have two buyers interested in mom’s condo, so I am in the process of negotiating with them. Also someone is interested in the car; it would be great to sell it now rather than next spring.
“Kicky” just woke up.
