Yesterday was such a gorgeous day!  Not much you could ask for, sunny, with temperature of -4oC, rising to 2 degrees.  My wife had an errand to perform in Mississauga which was quickly dispatched.  On a whim, we decided to run up through Mississauga Road to Belfountain and the Forks of the Credit River.  It was a good ride as we use to take Alex (our son) for rides through there when he was a little tike.  We stopped at the Apple Factory at Mississauga Rd/Bovaird Drive, as we done in the pass.  My wife mentioned how, in the early years we always made sure Alex got a treat, a pastry or pie, even when we were low on cash.  Of course we ended up buying six delicious  sausage rolls which we devoured in the parking lot - no taking home.  After polishing of the sausage rolls, we proceeded to Belfountain.  Again, memories....happy memories of happier times when we brought Alex here.  sometimes we stopped and pickup up an ice cream for him.  It's real funny, I remembered we always spoke of making sure Alex had memories of happy times as he grew up, something my wife didn't really have of her childhood.
Yeah, we miss our son big time....and will always hope he calls one day, just to let us know he's okay and is happy.  As all parents, we want him back.
