Blaine lived life his own way and although he and I divorced, he is the father of 3 wonderful children who have grown to make their own paths, leave their own legacies. We have not mentioned that Blaine was predeceased by an infant son Ivan in December of 1981. When I think back, that profound loss changed Blaine. Surrounded by well-intentioned friends and family, we lived in times where mental health issues, financial losses and tragedies were simply not discussed. Crazy making. We need to honour and cherish Blaine's many talents. He had the most beautiful singing voice. Blaine wasn't much of a reader but there were few things he could not fix. Or invent. Long before curved curtain rods existed, we had one! I was having difficulty turning a sewing project inside-out...so Blaine created a tool for me to use. He was a perfectionist, an expert cleaner, auto detailer, organizer. He enjoyed gardening and taught me everything I knew. Together we made high yield circular gardens and composted long before it was the fashion. When I think of Blaine , the singular act that defines him was something he did when my second husband was dying. We lived in Alberta and Blaine as well as our only daughter Lise, lived in Manitoba. It was February during one of the coldest winters ever and Lise's daughter was a beautiful 18 months old who was not a great candidate for a flight . But Lise desperately wanted to come visit Rick one last time. So Blaine took a week off work and drove 13 hours across the prairie -40 winter to help his daughter. THAT is the man I will remember and tell our grandchildren about.
