Once a Mother .. Always a Mother

My neighbours Doug and Wendy BACHE, accommodated Wendy's mother Emy, a few years ago by sharing their home with her.

As years progressed, Emy's daughter and son in law had major health issues. Over the fall and winter, neighbours helped out with yard and snow shoveling.

We learned we had to start early! Emy Sakanashi, Wendy's mother, would beat us! She racked and bagged leaves, cleared snow from the stairs and deck. She walks the street twice a day....and until Canterbury Golf Course closed ..she played weekly golf.

On November 15th , Emy celebrated her 101st birthday! Yes..101!!

Emy is an amazing friend ...she is an amazing example to all of us seniors! She is our Heroine! Wow !!!
