Wonderful article on Nathlie. 

What an incredibly brave girl!

Her praise and thankfulness and sheer joy in our “bounties” just reaffirms what I think every day – we are incredibly blessed by living in Canada. We should be thankful for that every single day, and for our incredible access to food, etc. 

Experiencing our coming winter should be interesting for her. I hope she has a warm coat and boots!

Welcome, Nathlie, I hope family members can join you soon.
