I'm off to Vancouver to help out Rita through this tough time...although I look forward to seeing my family when I travel to Vancouver I must say this will be the most difficult trip yet...no-one can ever truly be prepared to say good-bye to a brother and I think it absolutely unthinkable for a mother and father to bury their son. We don't know when it will come, Mario is breathing on his own right now and has been taken off of the ventilator...there is another meeting with the doctor today to determine what will happen next.

I was lucky to be able to book our flights on points...I am very happy with Alaska Airlines as this saved us close to $700, money we really couldn't afford to spend. I spoke with Rita and she is praying for a miracle, we all are.

On a happier note, I will be able to spend some quality time with my immediate and extended families. Its always nice to visit with brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces...the children brighten your day just by being there.

Please keep Mario in your thoughts and prayers.

I'll update you when I get in.

All the best,

VP
