Don’t Give Up…

“When it seems like the journey will never end, end the thoughts that will prevent you from reaching the end and make one more step.”

The day was windy and cool, the path a bit wet from the rains, but that didn’t stop us from taking the stool through the 5+ kilometre walk in the Erindale Park in  Mississauga. Step by step we enjoyed the serene environment of the excited stream flowing alongside the path and the singing birds welcoming the growing signs of spring. A walk bringing individuals from various households to one common ground.

On arrival we went through the registration process and waited for the starting Jazmin - KidsHelpPhone Walk 2008 021announcement for the walk to begin and then on our way. Forgetting to take the stroller, I was surprised to see my three (3) year old daughter making her way through the park, stride in stride and holding my hand.  She endured the journey to the end of the turning point and we picked up a couple chocolates for the journey back.

Can you imagine going on a walk in support of Kids around Canada with a three year old having a conversation with you the entire way? This was one of the most thrilling days of my life. “Dad, what is that sound?” She would say as we kept our pace even and straight. Not knowing how far we had to go but we kept going. It didn’t matter if others where passing us along, this day my daughter reminded me that we may not know where we are going but we need to endure to the END.
