Pete and I were in Montreal last weekend for a Bible conference. The people that my mom grew up around and went to church with were very welcoming to me. They seemed glad that I now live in Canada, and people kept coming up and saying hello and congratulations, and "I can tell you're her daughter, you look just like her." It was a treat to see and talk to some of my cousins too, who over the years I have seen very seldom and don't know too well. I guess I have strong roots in this country, after all.
