Welcome to Our Journey
“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege it is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love …”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
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. Her death left us devastated.
Recently we decided to let go of almost everything and start a new journey. We moved from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Toronto, Ontario, in 2016 and this year (2022) 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. Our road trip has taken us across Canada, down the west coast of the United States, and into Baja, Mexico.
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. Especially if the journey is shared with someone you love unconditionally.
We wish you peace and hope you join us!
