Kate wanted to spend the week together again leading up to the date of Nora’s death, so her & I headed up to the cottage on the Tuesday. We had a turbulent week with some happy but mostly sad times of missing Nora. Kate came up with activities to let out her anger, like drawing a “C” (for cancer) in the snow on a post and throwing ice balls at it, or to declare her love, like writing songs about Nora and her name in the snow.

The sun still rose on Nov 16th. We went for our “traditional” walk in the park with Dylan & Jackie (who came up on the 15th). The park was empty and beautiful, so we explored some of the spots we visit in the summer, following an otter for a while who was fishing along the shoreline.

We headed home very early Sunday morning so that we could visit Nora’s grave (on Kate’s request) and then get Kate to her Nutcracker rehearsal.
Back at Shirley St, on Nov. 14th, the school was an ocean of green, according to Mr. Harris.
