About Me: Male, 58, Wembley, AB, member since Nov 2011
I was born in Victoria, BC Canada. Now live in Wembley (west of Grande Prairie). I currently have 5 dogs, 14 pups and 2 birds. These animals keep me sane I think. They bring smiles to my heart. The pups are almost 5 wks old 'cept 1, he's 5 mths old and crazy energetic.

[More] My Father passed away May 20, 2011. One day after my birthday, that it was so close to my birthday does not bother me at all. My Mom, eldest daughter, and both my sisters and I were with him 24/7 for 4 days at the Hospice until he left us. He was an incredible but domineering man. All my life I was afraid of him and felt that I was not good enough. I was depressed for as far back as I can remember. I was with him from May 12 -20. It was during this time that I learned how much he really loved all of us. I could see it in his eyes. He was a powerful presence in our lives and now he is gone and I can't get over his loss.
I have fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, bilateral carpal tunnel synd. osteo-arthritis & porosis, IBS and tinnitis, major depression and I am overweight. The BCT and IBS is under control, My Mother keeps telling me I need my hips replaced, cuz she had hers done and she knows the symptoms. I have been going for physio, it does not help.
