For this episode I interview Vera Speers, a resident at The Village of Riverside Glen. Vera loves her giant family, and expresses how happy she is that they are all leading fulfilling lives, but is honest about how much she misses them too. Our chat looks back at a childhood in Saskatchewan, a young adulthood raising four children, and a career working for Guelph Hydro. All throughout Vera straddles the line of balancing reminiscing, nostalgia, with the reality that her memories can make her a bit sad and lonely too. I really appreciate Vera opening up, and letting herself be vulnerable with me.
