September 20, 1997 was the first time I set foot on the good ol' Canadian soil. I can't believe it has been 12 years already. It was one of the major decisions I made in my life, to move to another country for a fresh start.
So many things have happened since I came to Canada. I met my husband, gave birth to two wonderful kids and have a job I love. I also became a Canadian citizen, gained new friends, bought a house and so many other good things.
It is also here that I was diagnosed with breast cancer. A bummer to the nth degree! My "oh no, why me?!?!" moment. ;) The worst experience I've ever had. But on the bright side, all my treatments were free, thanks to the Canadian government and our healthcare system. We would probably be up to our ears in debt if we lived somewhere else.
I have no regrets living here, it is my new home. I have had my highs and lows since I lived here in Canada, but then again who doesn't.
