Aiyana moved into her residence at McGill this weekend


It's been quite a weekend, moving Aiyana in. Very emotional at times. She's doing well, already meeting other nice students, going out, enjoying the city, and making friends. I'm fluctuating between being really excited for her and being heartbroken. The house feels so empty coming back to. It's really weird. I'm numb.
I know I'll get used to it eventually, but right now it's a hard transition.

Here are some pictures:
Aiyana and Ed walked right by the engineering buildings where I spent so much time and have so many great memories from, on their way to her residence.
The iconic McGill walkway, with the arts building in the background, where she'll probably be spending much time this year studying international development.
Her building is really nice, right on Sherbrooke Street, and within minutes from McGill and all of downtown.
I almost burst into tears when I walked into my room after driving back home and saw her little horse from when she was small, one of her favorite toys, on my bed.
I'm glad for Aiyana, and for my parents, who will get to see her much more often now. I'll be going to Montreal more often as well to see all of them.
Meanwhile, I'll keep myself busy with school and trying to support Sena and Aiyana as much as possible from far away.
Peace
