Today is Rememberance Day, and in honour of my Grandma Bee, I wanted to post a little about her experiences in World War II. Grandma was considered too young to go into the Canadian Armed Forces Nursing Unit, so she instead decided to sign up with the South African Nurses as she believed it was her responsibility to help in the war effort wherever she could. She spent the majority of her time in North Africa, where she even climbed to the top of the pyramids in Egypt. She was considered quite a catch by the servicemen and has more stories about her various romances than we'll ever know. Grandma Bee just turned 90 years young on October 8th, and I am very proud of all her accomplishments, both on the battlefield overseas and her tireless work as a public health nurse in the interior of British Columbia.
As this is also November 11th, we want to wish our cousins, Cade and Kyra, a very happy 3rd birthday!!!
