Montreal Trip 2024

As I promised my mom during Christmas time, from this point forward, I will come to Montreal for her birthday. And I did. She was so happy about it!

We talked about so many things about her life. We also did some estate planning.

When time did allow, we went out and visited some family. I also checked in on a couple of friends, unfortunately not all of them, this was to be the trip I spent with my mom. It was a little odd that Jaime wasn’t with me. She also had a business trip to go on. We did video chat as much as we could.

I got to hang with my friend of 41 years, Jonathan, and his wife made us dinner and I got to chat with his kids. So much fun. We then went to pick up his other daughter who wrestles at the YMWYHA that I used to be a part of. GSP was there. That’s cool.

I spent some time across the street with Rob at Cafe Solaris and introduced my mom to him. Mom won the big bucks! My friends, Nat and Mike also showed up. Nat and Rob were my classmates from high school, so they knew each other.

Mom and I drove out to St Lazare the next day to see her sister’s family and I got to chatting with them for a bit. Very nice to talk with them, see the new babies, and eat some delicious food. When we left, my friends, Nat and Mike showed up and we went to dinner. After dinner we went to Brossard and checked out their house. Super cool!

The next morning, though I was tired, I showered up, and got ready. We went to church for my mom’s birthday and afterwards, went to the casino where we met up with some family and friends so that we could eat and celebrate. Finally ran into my sister too. It was lovely and I know my mom was very appreciative of my whole trip and the quality time we spent together. I know I appreciate her.
