Personal

As many of you may already be aware, I am a single mom. Gord and I have been separated for the past 5 years, living apart for 4.
This was very amicable and we chose not to make a big deal out of it, drawing attention to us and away from the cause would have been foolish and insensitive. The girls remain happy and balanced, never deprived of seeing both parents together at any occasion, no drama, no issues.
We are taking this to the next step and have just completed a "Parenting after Separation" course. We went together and both left feeling good about the way the situation has been consistently handled over these years.
Our biggest concern ironically was not how our family or girls would handle it (as we knew it was going to be ok), it was the perception of the people involved with the event and general public.
4 years later, I think its safe to say that all is well with the reputation of the event. Folks have seen that we still manage this together as a family, and run it with it's unique quirky grass roots flavour. Gord stays in the loop with development and is present for all events.
As to what the future holds for both of us, we are unconcerned. Much like this event, we will go where we are meant to be.
