16 years ago my family moved to Canada. Since then, all three of us have been back and forth, but we always end up back here. 16 years feels like a lifetime ago. My sister and I were teenagers, I was in love with Lars, I played in a marching band, I lived in a small village and had never crossed the ocean, I was in High-school. Glad my mom had what it took to move two teenagers to Canada, even though many people didn’t support her decision. So glad to live this crazy life.
