Where Is Canada?
DECEMBER
My sister and I learn that we’re all going to be moving to a place called Canada sometime in the New Year.
Canada, I think. Where is Canada? And why do we even have to move?
I shiver with trepidation.
I’d just spent the last couple of months getting used to school, and befriending schoolmates who wanted to get to know me. And now, I’d have to leave them and travel to this unknown place called Canada.

The decision to move was a strange one, also, since dad had a well-paying job as an interior painter and decorator at J Fielding.
From later talks I had with him, he seemed to infer that the decision was mum’s idea, but that she never really gave a clear and definite reason for the need to move.
She just wanted to go.
As soon as possible.
My sister and me
