Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.
For the 50th anniversary, it’s time for the @BlueJays to put their World Series trophies on public display.
Retweet if you agree. Let’s make this happen buds🏆🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥 #bluejays
With statements like this and the lack of vision and proper planning you can not call Toronto a world class City.. we got to do better…@CllrJamaalMyers@MikeColleTo@oliviachow …time for new leadership.
Reminder: we know the game is running late, but transit won't wait! The final GO train leaves Union Station soon, and the last TTC train is around 1:30 a.m. Check schedules at https://t.co/usz3GwL3Ih and https://t.co/dRNCXX2K7K
Regardless of what happens tonight, what a ride it's been. This team has meant so much to so many, and that should never be forgotten. Having said that, it would be so fun to see Hazel get soaked with champagne in about 8 hrs
Thanks for watching all season long. See you tonight
On a lighter note :
Here is what Jeff Foxworthy has to say about Canadians, during a recent appearance at Caesars in Windsor :
If someone in a Home Depot store
Offers you assistance and they don't work there,
You may live in Canada .
If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
You may live in Canada .
If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation
With someone who dialed a wrong number,
You may live in Canada .
If 'Vacation' means going anywhere
South of Kelowna for the weekend,
You may live in Canada .
If you measure distance in hours,
You may live in Canada .
If you know several people
Who have hit a deer more than once,
You may live in Canada .
If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C'
In the same day and back again,
You may live in Canada .
If you can drive 90 km/hr through 2 feet of snow
During a raging blizzard without flinching,
You may live in Canada .
If you install security lights on your house and garage,
But leave both unlocked,
You may live in Canada .
If you carry jumper cables in your car
And your wife knows how to use them,
You may live in Canada .
If you design your kid's Halloween costume
To fit over a snowsuit,
You may live in Canada .
If the speed limit on the highway is 80 km --
You're going 95 and everybody is passing you,
You may live in Canada .
If driving is better in the winter
Because the potholes are filled with snow,
You may live in Canada .
If you know all 4 seasons:
Almost winter, winter, still winter,
and road construction,
You may live in Canada .
If you have more miles
On your snow blower than your car,
You may live in Canada .
If you find -2 degrees 'a little chilly',
You may live in Canada .
If you actually understand these jokes,
and forward them to all
your friends,
you definitely are Canadian and proud to be.
