I never did met that special someone to share my life with me. My brother and his wife did not have any children, so never thought I could become an “auntie”. I was so wrong in my thinking. I have some dear friends who are actually more than friends - they are my sisters, they have made me feel a part of their family. Through this, I have become “auntie “ to their children. What a honour and blessing they all have been to me. So many cherished memories from when they were newborns to young adults.  Watching over the years as they developed their personalities and how they interact with one another. Their cute sayings and being blunt (saying it as they see it), their wonderful hugs and when they were babies sleeping so peacefully on my chest or shoulders. As they become teenagers, watching how they are figuring out what is important to them and figuring out their future goals and dreams. My friend, Sara Paterson’s daughter Casendra, I have known her since she was a newborn, born in ...

My letter to Premier Jason Kenney - Concerns about Energy and Environment

  September 8, 2020 Dear Premier Jason Kenney.  Hello. My name is Laura Jean Rutherford and I live in a long term care facility, AgeCare-Skypointe in Calgary, Alberta.

I was lured to Calgary because of a career opportunity to advance myself professi...

I have what?

Now that I was staying awake more with each passing day, the severity of my situation slowly became real. I found out I had a rough 6 weeks - near death, including a cardiac arrest due my bradycardia which required a temporary external pacemaker, getting blood clots in my lungs and left leg due to my PICC line, issues with low blood pressure and pneumonia. I received many treatments of IVIG (Intervenous Immunoglobulin), common treatment for this disease. Interesting I had all these complications at the same time I was having those vivid dreams. Wonder if there is a connection? When I awoke, I could not move my limbs and I did not have a voice. All I had was facial expressions to communicate. I was scared. Dr. Zuege came in my room when I was awake, he asked for his smile, which I gave him. He finally told me that I had Guillian Barre Syndrome or GBS. What the heck was that diagnosis? It seems a bacteria such as Campylobacter (found in under-cooked chicken)  attacks and destr...
