Ruth and Doreen are visiting me here in Nova Scotia. We have had a grand time since they arrived at 1:00. We have been talking and having fun. We are all widows. Don died just a month ago at age 89. Shelly died six years ago suddenly at age 72 and Ken died in 2018 at 82. Our situations were different but similar. We all three had long and successful marriages. Doreen is getting used to being alone. Ruth and I will give her advice but each person must figure out their own pattern.
Today, we laughed with Ruth about her first meeting with her husband Shelly. They met at the Salvation Army camp at Jacksons Point where she was working for the summer. She did not attend The Salvation Army but they lived right beside the Training College so she applied to work at the camp for the summer. Her parents were going to Vancouver for the summer and she did not want to go. Her Mother liked the Sally Anne so she allowed Ruth to work there for the summer where she met her future husband. She was 16. She joined the Earlscourt Corps because Shelly played in the band. And the rest is history.
Doreen has been here many times while Ruth has visited only once. We will have a good time together.
