My Great Grandma was a war bride. She came to Vancouver Island on a ship and then on a train with her two baby daughters, Mary and Margaret, from Scotland in January 1944.
She didn’t know if her new husband would ever return from the terrible war that was tearing the world apart.
She settled on Vancouver Island and had two more children, John and Jim. Her children grew up playing and working on the beautiful Island and they had children of there own. Her family has grown amazingly—she has seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren.
My Great Grandma loved to knit, and bake (she made the best scones ever) and to garden. And she had some of the most delicious apples I’ve ever tasted—one year we picked so many we had to have apple pies for weeks. She loved jewellery and cats. But I think most of all she loved her family. And we love and will miss her.

very sweet post :) that picture of Maia when she's little, sitting on the couch... she looks EXACTLY like strawberry shortcake, though I'm sure that's not the first time she's got that. :)
Ah, thanks Karen. She did get strawberry shortcake and Anne of Green Gables:)
