This was going to be a sad trip, visiting an ailing aunt and a grieving friend. I didn't expect much joy, yet despite the gloom there were some wonderful moments which made this trip a pleasure; in Toronto, my reunion with cousin Jacky and her husband in their beautiful house with children and grandchildren smiling from every wall; (I did get to see a sample- the lovely twelve years old twins and their family); an elegant Pessach Seder with family and friends(and a Ma Nishtana pefectly delivered by the said twins), spending time with the aunt who, despite her pain could still show she was happy with me, and getting to know Toronto; I found it bigger, taller, with more huge skyscrapers than I remembered but cleverly sited, so as not to hide the old houses.
