12 years ago
with two suitcases that contained all that I owned,
On a plane I got .
For the two day trip that would bring me
to this fabled land of snow.
Alone but not scared
for I will not strand, I know.
Canada!
My last hope
My childhood dream.
Tell me why my battles,
always seem to be upstream?
Family and friends,
So many things left behind.
Beloved books and music
mementos of a troubled past.
Up and away
Up and away I went.
And started the journey to a better life.
The long and winding journey into the unknown.
The long and winding journey…

Beautifully written. Thanks for sharing. Ever since I have seen Anne of Green Gables it has been a desire to get to Canada and visit Prince Edward Island.
I always worry that by the time I get there, it will no longer have its rustic charm and beautiful scenery.
Me too! My goal is to see the whole of Canada, from coast to coast. But… It is such a huge country!
And don’t worry, PEIeans or whatever they call themselves, our very proud of the rustic charm and are very careful to keep it that way :)
Thank goodness!
Great photo and perfectly matched with your words.
One of my favorite SSG posts! :)
Thank you! I’m glad you like it that much :)
I really like that photo and to think I had completely forgotten about it. Found it again when looking for a good photo to accompany the post. It’s not even in my laptop but in the backup files in my media hub :P
