Photos on the Road
Life takes some horrible turns and all you can do pick yourself up and keep going. Our daughter Rehtaeh Parsons died April 7th, 2013 by suicide at the age of 17 and her death left us devastated.
Recently we decided to let go of almost everything and start a new journey. We moved to Toronto in 2016 and this year we’re living on the road to give ourselves time to heal and reset. What we have with us is all we own with the exception of a few boxes left with my mom in Ottawa.
Life can be cruel and life can be hard. Learn from your past and grow as you walk your path. There is healing in adventure and joy can be found along the way.
We wish you peace and hope you join us!
In Loving Memory of Ozzy

Road Trip Update from Oregon
“No man is brave that has never walked a hundred miles. If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass.
