____________________________ A meeting place for the FRIAMILY of Joanne Daquano _____________________________
Joanne is always in my thoughts and has been since we hooked up again. Some would say the meeting was unfortunate but I would have to say that it was wonderful. Credit Valley Hospital a Look Good Feel Better Seminar (many bald women whipping off wigs and scarves!!) and across the room this very familiar looking woman (she kept her wig on). After learning proper application of makeup to make it look like we actually had eyebrows and lashes she came over and we started with the usual “Where do I know you from??” Finally it dawned on us oh my god Ryerson 15 years before!! And here we were left breasted challenged and bald married to our same sweethearts and sharing not only 6 children between us but also the same doctor!! The circumstances may not have been optimal for such a reunion but who cares. I have been able to reconnect with a woman whom I really liked a long time ago and who was just as great if not better (and looked good too!!).
There have been long periods during the last 7 years where Joanne and I were busy and didn’t talk, but when we did, man she made me laugh. And you know reading this blog makes me sad, but all I ever see when I think of Joanne is her smiling face, I hear her wicked sarcasm, I laugh at remembered jokes but most of all I see this incredibly beautiful woman with so much love beaming out of her and so much love being thrown right back at her. So even though my eyes keep leaking I am continually smiling because I can’t help it.
My thoughts as always are with you all Mike, Dylan, Dean, and Darcy.
Love
Janette
