@amil I do the same and if the parent gives me pushback I respond with a shruggy"we're a village right?". This worked great in the UK but I have yet to test it in Canada.
To begin, Rest In Peace to your mother. This article was a beautiful read, from the opening quote to the ending. It has brought tears to my eyes, and has made me think that even after months, you never really can forget a loved one and that seasons are sometimes reminders of them
@munir_anika Thank you for your kind words and reading. Considering how universal they are, I wish I had known better that grief & grieving have no timeline as opposed to learning that in situ.
A deep loss. My condolences to Clayton's loved ones.
I'll always remember how Clayton stood firmly with me in facing down hate during my 2014 Trustee run. Clayton sent a voice msg to residents in support of me, and called on us all to reject racism & intimidation in our politics
After serious consideration I’ve decided to put my name forward for City Councillor in Spadina Fort–York.
I’m not your typical candidate. But it’s about time for that, isn’t it? I’m ready and excited to take on this role in the fight for a just city.
