Minuette Two and Beyond: Minuette and the VIA Rail

So during the summer Minuette and I accompanied by her Auntie Sherry loaded onto the VIA Rail for the first time (for Min) to visit her Grandma (my mom) who lives in Belleville. She had a bast and even insists on going every weekend but alas we can not afford this. It was the very first time a cognisant Minuette had met her Grandmother. I have not had an easy (which is being very kind here) relationship with my Mom. In fact I never thought I would ever see her again and even have Minuette be around her.

Things change. Priorities change. Especially when someone you care about leaves you. It's been my mission that those people that need to be important in her life are important and are there. I am not always successful but I will continue to try.
