@RetroCrone Iโm so sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel, being the only person left from your birth family. I had two big sisters - my remaining one died suddenly a few weeks ago. She was 85 and Iโm 73. So many family memories now that no one else here shares. Take care ๐จ๐ฆโค๏ธ
A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales
As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.
The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.
The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.
With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.
This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.
Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.
I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.
Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.
William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyoneโs kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.
To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey โ I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.

I was a huge Reggie Jackson fan as a kid. I still watch video of his three homer World Series game periodically because it's so thrilling. But this is a much more meaningful video๐๐พ
โThey ask me at the border why I don't take American citizenship. I could still be Canadian, they say. You could have dual citizenship. But I say no, I'm not dual anything. I'm Canadian. There's a maple leaf in my underwear somewhere.โ
Rest in Peace, Donald Sutherland.
Pierre Poilievre has:
โ Turned his back on Ukraine.
โ Attacked the free press.
โ Said heโd roll back rights for transgender Canadians.
While he imports far-right, American-style politics to Canada, weโre focused on building a better future for all Canadians.
