A Remembrance Walk

 

Today I walked with my husband in honour of his father, a veteran of WWII,  to the Niagara Falls Historical Museum on Lundy's Lane. A beautiful display to see called the Poppy Project stands in honour of all who have served.  The poppies are hand knitted and crocheted and come from all across Canada and even some from overseas! Remembering my father in law, John Joseph Ciancio with love.

Just 11 months after the death of my husband, I was on a true journey into the unknown. After my surgery, and 27 days of radiation, I began a new journey alone. I got on a plane and flew to Panama. I packed my tube of third degree burn cream and a stack of white men’s Stansfield tee shirt. I walked the beaches and followed the route  the Panama Canal to its source. After the first journey, I have travelled thousands of miles alone. November 1st, I began yet another journey. This time I am walking to Vancouver with friends.
