In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. -Alex Haley


I believe more than anything that the closeness of our mother Joan to her only Brother, Fred was the amazing gift that they had left us. It wasn’t just a weekend get-together, or a quick holiday but when the Gills came over it was for THE SUMMER. It is those long hot innocent Summers of childhood. It is the memories of ALL the senses (like I spoke about in my last post 1969) that come back. The overly chlorinated pool, Uncle Brothers overly buttered and salted popcorn. Listening to Paul McCartneys “Hands Across the Water” and all of us singing in union.
I have recollections of many people I have met, friends, coworkers, casual conversation…and they have shared with me; “Oh I don’t talk to my sister anymore.” or “I have no need to to see my family.” or “Screw my dad, he’s a jerk.” One day you will wake up and realize how short this journey of life is.
Maybe I am over emotional and way too deep (as I have been told) but when I was on the phone with my cousin Jim last week, I cannot express the feelings that came over me to hear his voice again. To hear him as a father and a husband AND a Grandfather! He wasn’t just my cousin quarterbacking our touch football team down for a score on Whitman street.
And when we finally had to hang up, I told him something I never told him before. “I love you” and it came from the depths of my heart and soul.

    I’m about to run out of credit nugenix free sample cancellation Following the World Championships, Canada’s top-six defensemen for the 2013-2014 season project to be Catherine Ward, Tessa Bonhomme, Jocelyne Larocque, Lauriane Rougeau, Meaghan Mikkelson, and Laura Fortino. Led by Ward, the all-world defenseman with an excellent two-way game, there’s Bonhomme who’s also solid all-around and a good complement to any partner; Larocque and Rougeau, the shut-down specialists; and Mikkelson and Fortino, the offensively-adept blue-liners. Of this group, I’d say Fortino is the most questionable to remain in that top six. Despite having shown such promise offensively, she had a disappointing senior season at Cornell points-wise and will need to be much more consistent in every aspect with the national team this season to solidify her spot on the roster.
