Yesterday was my beloved country’s birthday. Unfortunately i was not in my country for that glorious celebration. Instead I was here. In Colorado. At church the opening and closing hymns were “America the Beautiful” and “The Star Spangled Banner.” I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t sing those hymns on Canada day. I felt like I was a traitor to my country when I did. Plus I felt so homesick that I couldn’t sing! I’m so grateful for Canada. And man am I ever going to miss it over the next few years. There is no better place to be than in Canada!
