My husband, Colin, and I are parents to three and blessed to be grandparents to nine amazing children, amongst the greatest joys of our lives. I was also privileged to be my father's daughter. Losing him was profoundly sad. His transition remains one of the most impactful experiences of my life. There are few people in this world who leave an indelible mark. When I think of my dad I can see his smile, hear his voice. I will forever be touched, by the love I have for him, his desire to see the best in everyone, the optimism with which he lived his life and the grace with which he passed away.
