Given all the PCNBs MLAs resigning or not offering again wondering if they will switch their name to the Regressive Conservative Party of NB?

Great news that Fredericton is Atlanic Canada's most livable city https://t.co/7Ve3pdPraz

Just when I thought 2023 couldn't suck anymore, the storm removed all the shingles off my house. #NBstorm #MerryChristmas2023 #dumpsterfire2023

Tried to go to my office Christmas party this past weekend, couldn't get out of the car. The anxiety about people asking me how I am doing, how the kids are, and her not there was overwhelming. #grief #widowed #anxiety

Fifteen years ago tonight, I got engaged to Bonnie on a stormy night similar to tonight. It's hard to believe I won't be able to celebrate with her this year. #Grief #widowed

To the women waving the roadside emergency kit along the exit ramp between Route 7 and 8 in Fredericton this morning, sorry for the confused look. Your waving did work, though, as I slowed down and avoided the accident under the bridge.

November 14 is #WorldDiabetesDay, a day to reflect on the importance of access to insulin. #Canadian scientists Charles Best and Sir Frederick Banting discovered insulin in 1922. Sir Banting became the first Canadian #NobelPrize recipient in 1923. 🧪

I am incredibly proud of how he managed his Type 1. With CGMs and insulin pumps, I worry less about him. #diabetes

Today is world diabetes day, it was just over a year ago my son was diagnosed with Type 1. Since that time I have learned to carb count, manage sugar highs and lows, and developed plans for school, sports and other activities. #diabetes

Tonight, the New Brunswick Legislature will be lit up with blue in honour of Diabetes Awareness Month and World Diabetes Day.

This disease impacts 12.3 per cent of New Brunswickers and affects someone new in Canada every three minutes. We take our commitment to risk-reduction strategies seriously and we’re investing $27.8 million over five years to enhance the New Brunswick Insulin Pump program.

As part of Diabetes Awareness Month, let’s work together this November and beyond to help limit the number and severity of cases here at home and across the country.

Waiting in line for 10 minutes to get into the IWK parking garage and no cars are getting in. I call the switchboard and was told by a security guard that the lot was full. You know what would be helpful? A sign that lights up when the lot is full. Make it easier on patients.

Today is another hard day. I not only miss my wife but I miss what we didn't get to do. This upcoming week, the kids and I are doing something we always wanted to do as a family. I'm not sure if I am strong enough to enjoy it without her. #Grief

This info graphic is so relatable. I have experienced all of these things, especially grief brain.

@HandbookWidows It has been only 8 months but I keep my wedding band on. One day, I might take it off, but right now, it feels right to keep it on.

[David Creber @daveengineer]

Grief really sucks. I was having dinner with the kids, and one of my wife's favorite songs came on. I can never predict when something will remind me of her and realize I will never share it with her again.

[David Creber @daveengineer]

Wow, sixteen years ago tonight, I first met Bonnie at a party hosted by a mutual friend. It is still very hard to take that she is gone.

[David Creber @daveengineer]

Today marks 3 months since B passed away. The kids and I are still processing the loss and it still hurts #Grief

[David Creber @daveengineer]

Had a great morning skiing today up at Crabbe. Glad I took the time to take care of myself today.

[David Creber @daveengineer]

Today is going to be a challenging day as this was one of B's favourite days of the year. Missing you B...
