It is with sorrow and concern that I learned of the recent attacks against various communities in Nigeria leading to a heavy loss of life. I express my prayerful closeness to all the victims of violence and terrorism. I likewise hope that the competent Authorities will continue to work with determination to ensure the safety and protection of the life of every citizen. #PrayTogether

I want to find meaning, and continue to give meaning to, my husband’s life. He left this life with so many things undone and so much life left to live. I want to honor that. I want to honor him. But how?

Nova Scotia is experiencing an increase in invasive group A streptococcal (iGAS) infections. While the risk to the general populations is low, it’s important to know the difference between strep throat and the rare, more serious Invasive Group A Streptococcal infections. (1/3)

I’ll be forever grateful for Twitter as this is where I met my husband @davidgilson in 2010. Rest in peace, my love.
