Big Gord


My new (2002) Honda CRV which LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW.
Rosie looks like a dog from Planet Zephron. Where'd she get those flashy goggles?

Thank you Big Gord.

I haven't introduced Big Gord to the Blog.  So much to say.. so many years.  We met in 1976, I was 23 and Gord was 22.  We both rowed for the University of Western Ontario, and we dated for a year, then moved in together while living in Vancouver, the summer of 1977.  We were married on February 18th, 1978, and our son, Gord Jr. was born on May 22nd.  As you can see from the photo, Big Gord (that's what my younger 2 sons call him) is in a wheelchair, and has been since November 1, 1977.  It has been an adventure through the years.... although I'm not sure Gord Sr. (Big Gord) would describe it that way.  Our marriage went under, but we both stayed afloat.  Barely.  There was a lot of room for growth.
 It's been 37 years since Gord's car accident, and he is one of the bravest, strongest,  kindest and most generous people on Earth. He is one of my closest friends & my biggest fan.
