I AM JOHN




I have been raised with good morals and
an excellent sense of what is right and wrong.
My loyalty is to family
and to my country.

I am a

Son,
Father,
Grand-father,
Brother,
an Uncle,
Cousin,
Friend,
I Am John

These pages are bits of me,
reflections of my heart and hobbies,
likes and dislikes

I enjoy the simple things, like the sunrise,
I love listening to the wind in the trees,
and you have no idea what a joy it brings me to see a
young child being happy and playing.
These things and many many more bring so much joy into my life.
At one point I didn't think this much happiness was possible - what a rush
I pray every day and thank God for all he has given me.

I have a wonderful family and the very best of friends, they stood for years waiting for me,
and now they
"stand by me".

My parents are beyond description,
no matter what I decide,
no matter what I do or where I go,
they stand by me and support my every decision.

Highlights from my life
(well there's a real grabber for surfers).

I was born in Glasgow Scotland - a good day for me, thanks Mom and Dad.

Moved to Canada when I was 7 years old, and spent the first few years in Trenton Ontario.

Finished High School in Wawa, where I had my first girlfriend, Dorothy.

Joined the military in 1975 as a medic.

I met Nancy in Yorkton and we were married on 7 Oct 78.

Six years later we had the most beautiful daughter, Gina.

I have ran nearly 20 marathons, the best being
with my running partner Miriam.

I had a wonderful career in the CF and retired in 1996.

In 1997 / 1998 I left my family for a new life.

On 29 Oct 1998 my son John was born in Irvine Scotland.

Gina gave birth my first grandchild - Mikaela - on 27 Mar 2001

Oct 29, 2001 - I rejoined the military, as a medic again.

Life with my son's Mom was hard - poor communication skills seemed to be the problem.

In October 2002 I was given another chance at life as a single man.
my eternal and sincere thanks to all concerned.

It was hard in the beginning - but friends and family rallied to help me.

I was surrounded by an impenetrable wall of love and support.

They helped me to stand up again,
and now keep pace with me as I move forward.

Nancy and I are now divorced (as of 24 Mar 03),
she recently became part of that wall that surrounds me,
both in spirit and body.

I just learned I will become a Papa again
how wonderful is that !!!!
Thanks Gina

It's now May 2003 - I am enjoying life.

My future is in a state of flux right now
but hey, I don't have to worry about that
I live here, now, today
I enjoy here, now, today.

My life is VERY good, I have
peace, love, contentment.
and want for nothing more than that.

... "in my life" ...
