Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, May the 21st was my mother’s Birthday.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Because today, May 22nd, is just one short day away from yesterday, and because it IS so apropos, I decided to use the below NATIONAL TODAY Holiday in honor of my mother.<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Canadian Immigrants Day is observed on May 22 every year.<\/span> <\/em><\/p>\n

The holiday is meant to celebrate Canadians who immigrated to the United States.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes Oh Yes. My Mother was a Canadian Immigrant.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

My Mother was born in London, Ontario, Canada. She was raised out in Western Canada in Regina, Saskatchewan. Eventually her family then returned to London, Ontario.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In the late 1920’s,\u00a0 she attended the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There she met my father. On June the 3rd, 1933, they married in Ann Arbor, Michigan.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

During the “War Years” in the early 1940’s she “officially immigrated to the United States”.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

100% of my mother’s family, including her parents and twin sister remained forever in Canada!\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

So? I am part and I am parcel, one half Canadian.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
