"HOW THE SURPRISE CAME ABOUT" AND - THE PHOTO!
Receiving some not so good news after having had surgery in April,and 6 weeks later finding out that I was scheduled to have more surgery in August,I decided that I could not handle this right now.
I became an emotional wreck and fear and. panic took over, yes my bravery deserted me at the door. This is where my knight in shining armour, the Love of My Life, Steve came to my rescue. With the ok from my doctor to delay surgery until November, and with Steve knowing how much I was missing Marg, he prescribed some urgent Marg therapy and set out on an internet search for bargain air fares to Toronto.
I had one condition. Marg was not to know I was coming ! I wanted to knock on her door and give her the suprise of her life ! Of course, we could not do this without Dan's ( Marg's husband) approval. A surprise for Marg is one thing, but I couldn't impose myself on their household for a whole month without being sure that I would be welcome and that I would not be upsetting any of their domestic plans. So after a couple of phone calls to Dan, which he explained away to Marg as enquiries about the suitability of a birthday present for her, he enthusiastically endorsed the plan! The problem was that her birthday was in June, and I was not going to arrive until August, so how were we going to keep this thing a secret for three months?
It was easy to start with,but as time drew near it became harder, not just for me, but for the others that, for various reasons, I had told ! For some of you,like myself, it became a very difficult dodging game towards the end, as this beautiful lady has finely tuned antenna's which were picking up that something was going on ! It was especially hard towards the end as both I and several of my friends were all trying to avoid her in case we said something that she would pick up on . Dear friends I thank you so very much for not letting the cat out of the bag. And how Dan managed to keep the charade alive so perfectly, I will never know ! In fact he told Marg that his brother was coming to visit from Mexico, so at least she knew to expect an overseas visitor ! just the wrong one !!
The last 2 weeks were nearly impossible, as Steve was over in Perth and my dear friend Marg thought she would keep an eye on me through Skype, day and night. When I was due to leave home for the airport, I knew that I would be out of contact for 32 hours before arriving on her doorstep. I left a blog saying that I was going out for the afternoon, and I hoped this would cover me until I arrived in Los Angeles, from where I would leave a message which she would think originated from me at home !
Anyway, after a horror experience in LA airport with the rudest customs, immigration and security men in the world,I made it onto the Air Canada flight and eventually into Toronto airport where Dan was waiting for me. So, all that was left was a one hour drive to Oshawa and I would finally be back with Marg.
Dan drove into their driveway - I got out of the car - Marg came out of her front door - and then she saw me ! Well, she came bursting down the driveway with such emotion and a expression on her face that was worth all the sneakiness. To feel her warm loving arms around me for real was just so right.

Re: THE PHOTO & HOW THE SURPRISE CAME ABOUT!
Oops yes I gone and dun it, did run for the hills but hill to steep had to make a retreat, Haa Haa!
Dearest Margie all the travelling was definitely worth it, to feel your warm arms around me for real and to see the pure emotions that sweep over your beautiful face on my arrival, gee what Dan's brother missed out on, LOL!
So I am forgiven for my avoidance and shut down you experienced ??? Hee Hee!
My surprise was when my darling husband said I'm sending you to Marg, thought it was going to be another 12 months before that was going to happen, he is truly a nation treasure to me.
The photo is beautiful my friend and that day will be with me for the rest of my life....pure magic!
Love you Morest, Janice
