Marriage Life Ernest is the love of my life, and we are blessed with two children. By the time we left Ontario for Fort McMurray, Chris was seven, and Ekow was five. Balancing work was challenging, but since we both worked for the same company, we had Fridays off m. We used those Fridays to travel to Edmonton with the kids to enjoy family time. We also enrolled them in soccer, which led me to become a referee — a role that improved my decision-making skills in my career. We managed our schedules by rotating responsibilities for events like recitals. The toughest times were in Sudbury when both of us were working in consulting, which had demanding deadlines. Moving to the industry allowed for a more predictable schedule and more family time. As our boys grew older, we enjoyed travelling, hiking, and savouring the simple joys of life together. We plan to continue travelling and enjoying each other’s company as we transition into empty nesters and eventually retire. I’m deeply grateful for Ernest’s support and our wonderful children. I am so grateful to God for the journey He has taken me on and continues to guide me on. It has been fifty years of grace, growth, glowing, gratitude, and giving! The Birthday Journal 35
