My Dad had a fall

By
My father had a bad fall on Wednesday around dinner time. He had been sick with a bladder infection and as a result was not as steady on his feet.He fell while walking to the washroom. He is OK, no broken bones. He has a cut on his forehead and his nose and a scrape on his hand and knee.When i saw him again yesterday(Thursday) his right eye was also a little swollen.
As i mentioned before after he heels up again, they would really like some visitors. Please encourage his brothers and sisters to come visit.
There phone number changed in March to 905 938 7624

I went to see my dad yesterday. I told him he wasn't as pretty as he was before I left for my trip but he looked pretty good. lol
His fall was a result of his terrible illness and weakness he gets when he has a urinary tract infection which he gets often. He is confused about what exactly happened but these infections are very serious and the nurse told me they could ultimately take his life one of these times.
As Dan has mentioned, it is extremely important that those of you locally ask your parents to please try and find the time to see him. You never know.... If any of you have the time he'd love to see you too. My Dad was always there to see or take care of anyone of his siblings or their spouses and he needs them now. Even a phone call is incredible to to him and makes his day like you wouldn't believe. Please see what you can do.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...

Remembering Sean

By
The remaining Barrys. This picture was taken at Sean's funeral. Sean's absence is definitely felt. The last time I saw Sean, was about a year ago, the end of March '06. My husband, Brian and I showed up unannounced at his place and he graciously entertained us. If he had other plans, he never mentioned them. My brother, Brian has a pub in Camrose, AB. Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
