Hey, Daniel ..I'm a bit late in posting this ... kind of a neat event last week, where Ontario's Minister of Immigration, Mike Colle, was presenting a new government award program ... that recognizes people ... kind of like your Friendship Award. (You can see me above in the picture with the Minister, and Papa in the middle.)
Anyway, one of the people that Minister Colle mentioned was Papa ... Papa did a lot for people from other countries, who came here to begin a new life. A lot of these people didn't speak or write English ...and one of the big things he did was print different newspapers in their language ... he also started a tv station that would have programs in different languages. .
This would make people who could not speak English feel really good because they could watch tv that was in the language they spoke ...so, it would make them feel like they had friends here, and like they belonged.
So the Minister asked me to come to the event ... and I did ...and I was able to talk about Papa.
So, with your Friendship Award, you are on your way to accomplish really great things, just like Papa! So, congratulations on your award ... I love you :) xoxo

Cara Doreen;
I really enjoyed the way you wrote this story for Daniel. Without a doubt this will go in his family Memoir book one day. Keep on writing.
