Back from Canada
I just got back from Canada with my family. It was my second trip to Canada this year. I was worried about the health of my mom, so we went to visit.
It turns out she was fine but I am very pleased with our visit. It was the smoothest trip to Canada yet, and my best acclimatization to jet lag ever (but I still feel the jet lag…).
This trip gave me an opportunity to take care of some important tasks for my mom, like managing her tax account - which I've written about in more detail in Power of Attorney and Canada Revenue Agency. As I discussed in Power of Attorney and Canada Revenue Agency, this can be a complex process. Our experience at the bank was quite frustrating, but if you're going through something similar, you might find my previous post helpful in navigating the system. Although they were cooperative, they didn't have the information we needed. Finally however, they got things set up nicely for me and it is all running smoothly now.
I've been thinking about the transition to assisted living, and how it affects family relationships. Related to what I discussed in Surprising Realization, this trip helped me appreciate the importance of being present for loved ones. We had good visits, which reminded me of the importance of being present for loved ones - a lesson I wrote about in Surprising Realization.
Everyone in the family thought it was a great trip, too, so that really increases the satisfaction. But it will be a few days before I can say I have recovered from all the travelling.
