Moving forward
Without regard to his personal privacy…my dad is moving to a new job. Today is in fact his final day working for a company that he has served for 19 years.
He’s moving on to a job in the prairies building something new all over again. Gilbertson’s was a rather small company when he started there and he watched it grow into something bigger than I think anyone imagined. Now he gets to watch something else grow as the site he’ll be working at next is a mere bush lot in Northern Manitoba.
I’ve taken for granted perhaps the time and proximity that he and I have shared over the preceding couple of years and I will certainly miss them. Building a relationship with my father is something I will never regret doing since opportunities for that were absent in my youth.
So, congratulations Dad. I wish you the best a pray for the rest…to sound a might cliche. May the success of you past follow you into your future.

Hmm. I never did go over to visit your dad’s trailer at Big Ticket last spring. Hope he finds happiness out west.
