Mother

 For my Mother ... she was born in 1946 

My Mother, was born Cheryl Dawn Byce with ten other brothers & sisters in the small town of Chapleau, Ontario, Canada of Northern Ontario. She was my educator in life and my very best friend I had ever known. She was an amazing powerhouse in life and held down a job of Teacher's Aid @Centennial School here in Ottawa. But most of all her most important job was to raise me & my sister as my Father concentrated on work in our Nuclear Family. Me, I was conceived at Montreal Expo 67 and I was later born on June 17, 1968 making me a Gemini-Monkey and a Cheeky one at that. I can't believe the most beautiful life she gave me with pure love & support. She was the one to visit me @every workplace I had ever worked ... just to check out and see what was going in my life. When I was stressed & anxious she would settle me down with the words "Cool it ! and take it easy." I still live by those words today as she has now left me to go to a better place.

Me & my wonderful Mother at Changing of the Guard in Ottawa one summer in the early 90s. She was the only person who could make me grin from ear to ear ... I miss her so very much and will always.
