Chapter 1 - Dear Summer
We've finally arrived at our eagerly awaited summer. The journey was a long one, but every kilometre was worth it, because we caught a glimpse of our friends' smiles on the horizon, and they welcomed us enthusiastically and with open arms.
Â
The smell of spring is around, the days are longer and the evenings bid farewell in shades of orangey pink, painting the sky in brushstrokes of warmth and nostalgia... I can feel the imminent arrival of summer.
We gather around the table, as we have so often done before, with a special flavour of yearning and meeting again. The plates fill up with delicacies, and stories and laughter fill the air... no doubt, the happiness and harmony I needed.
Â
It's at times like these, so simple and precious, that we understand the true meaning of life. It’s not the places we visit or the things we have that make us happy; it’s the people we share the most important things with. I look at my friends, Family and I feel immensely grateful. They're the ones that make it all memorable... each meal, each party, each adventure, each laugh.
Summer has arrived Canada, with lots of memories to be made. But for now, I’m just going to savour this moment...
