Daughter L was at a Raptors basketball game last night with friends, they won but it was very close. She was given a valentine chocolate for screaming hard.
There was a moving story in the paper last weekend about a young man who was saved from suicide by a passing stranger and how they have reconnected through the media. The young man now speaks on mental illness on behalf of the Canadian Mental Health Association and gave a TED talk on the meeting that has a million views. The stranger who saved him also sounds like a special person. I wanted to share it with you today.
And my sister who broke her ankle quite badly on New Year's Day has received an excellent report from the doctor. She can start physiotherapy tomorrow and will walk in one month instead of two if all goes well. She says she has been taking natural therapy capsules for bone and tissue healing, something a friend recommended. It's hard to say if that is helping, who knows.

I hope your daughter doesn't have a sore throat after all that screaming! Good news for your sister, so glad to hear it! Valerie
I'm glad the ankle is recovering well, even better than expected. You hear a story like that every so often and it it always a good one to hear. I've talked a few people off the ledge in my time, just not literally off the edge like that.
That is a very moving story. A passing stranger saved that young man's life, and that young man is now doing good in this world. A chain reaction of kindness. Love it.
And very good news about your story! What a blessing that is.
David is a sports freak and he follows the Toronto Raptors when there is a game on TV.
Mental illness is a terrible thing.
And so glad your sister is recovering quickly. All the best to her.
it's been awhile since I've seen a basketball game
I'm glad to hear your sister is doing better. I hope she continues to improve rapidly. I'm glad your daughter's team won.
