Most of those reading this blog know me personally, so I think it important to share with you all the recognition one of my favourite people in the world - my father, Timothy.
He was invested on Friday by her excellency Michelle Jean, Governer of Canada as a Member of the Order of Canada. You can read about his investiture in the London Free Press and Vancouver Sun . Curiously, no coverage (on the internet) is available from the Times Columnist - did they write anything?
I am very proud of my father and his accomplishments and it is heartening to see that sentiment shared by a representative of a nation. He is a model citizen and a role model for me. Despite my rather juvenile antagonism he is forever a source of pride for me, and I’m sure my family.
He casts a long and deep shadow with his attainment, however he has always been a source of vigor and clarity in my rather tumultuous journey.
Congratulations dad.
I was watching the news the other night and you dad’s name was mentioned… and I’m like - “Did I hear that right?” Now I know I did… and now I know someone, who knows someone who got the Order of Canada.
What wonderful news Jeremy, that is Fabulous! You must be very proud of your Dad. Again, Wonderful News!!!
