I recently read this item on my FB wall from my buddy, Brett Wilson , and had to share! He is backing a new product for the men in your life while YOU are pregnant. It’s called #MalePregnancyJeans ! Fits just right for their slightly pouchy or paunchy buddies. Just try them you will like them! He owns the company!
In Memoriam of Donald E. Pearce, December 16,1926-March 27,2014
Its been a year today that my beloved Dad passed away, and I don’t feel any less pain today, then when I received the life changing telephone call from my Stepmother, Marjorie. I knew that Dad had not been well, as I had been in regular contact with them both, and enjoyed a very close relationship with them. I would run into Hamilton whenever I could, but it just didn’t seem as frequently as I would like. I have always been extremely busy with my own life, being the primary caregiver to his grandson, and my own precarious health issues during the past six years have kept me extremely busy non stop!
I always looked forward to seeing my Dad though, as I was his little girl, and as Mom and Marjorie confirmed, I could do no wrong in his eyes. I never really knew it, until the day, he finally had to let me down gently by telling me he could not marry me, as he was already married to my Mother. Even though I was a mature eight year old at the time, I was overwhelmed and totally disheartened that my very own prince charming, Donald Ernest PEARCE or Dad had turned me down for another woman , my Mother. I distinctly remember sitting in his lap on Grace Avenue in Hamilton with crocodile tears rolling down my face and he explained it very easily, “My dearest Gail I love you so much as my daughter and I’ve waited so long for you to come along and be my daughter, besides which I already have a wife why would I want two? If I were to marry you I would have two wives, no daughter, so there you cannot be my wife and as I said before I love you as my daughter very much!”
To which I replied okay Daddy, but how much do you love me,”I love you around the world and through the skies around the earth 1 million times and back again and that’s a lot!” At that point we hugged and kissed my forehead, and I went outside to find my best friend Elaine Jacob to tell her that I have to start looking for a husband because my Dad wouldn’t marry me. Elaine fully understood because she was also the apple of her father’s eye, and we commenced the search for the perfect husbands.
Another thing I miss about my Dad as I’m remembering him on this day, is the fact that we would get together regularly for his Birthday ,Father’s Day, Mother’s Day ,special occasions and share a meal at an all you can eat Buffet. Dad always saved his huge appetite for the meal and we used to kid him about this, asking if he had a wooden leg where he could put extra food to carry him through for the next week? Honestly he would go up 3,to 5, times, us helping him when he was older and using his cane. Sometimes he would ask me to wrap some food or dessert up and put in my purse, so Mom wouldn’t see it!
My Father was a very loving, kind, man, with big piercing blue eyes, and always showed me his affectionate side; but there were times, when he would become stubborn and apparently that is a “Pearce” trait, or as I like to call it the fear of getting older, “And I can do it myself gene”. He was dedicated to his wife Marj, and very proud of his children and grandchildren , and always look forward to seeing them when he visited. I know that Dad is no longer in pain, and is playing with his precious kitties and dogs and good friends that have passed on before and after him……he is one of my BRIGHTEST SHINING STARS!
I love you around the Moon and through the Skies, around the earth a trillion times…..and, THATS A LOT.
With Much Love, Gail,Dennis , Jon,Addison, Marjorie, Glenn&Tina, Jeff &Kym,Tim
Warm Wishes – In Loving Memory of Bernice Irene Siemko
Our precious Mom, words cannot describe how very much you meant to us; your gentle touch and smiling face, the loving way you looked at us, your love of life – the little things, that made you love us, despite your pain, your words of great encouragement that always gave us confidence over and and over again, the love you shared with everyone that we know is sent from God above.
And so we are very blessed, as we each have a portion of that love, coursing through our veins! As I walk through my home, I can still feel your presence, yet I find it comforting in knowing that you are no longer in pain. I remember being your constant companion and caregiver, at times during those 15 years, There were days, I wanted to pick you up like one of my own children, tuck you in bed, and sing a song until you fell asleep! Then there were the days that you ran away from, tired from how you felt like 
being treated like a child, instead as a fully grown woman of 4 feet 10″ high, and 92 pounds. We laughed and cried together, and you confided in me about all the difficult and painful years of being a single Mom of five boisterous children, all born within five years of each other. However, you were strong, had lots of energy, resilient, fiercely independent and most importanly devoted to your children! I miss you Mom, I miss the talks, I miss, the walks, not the Doctors, mind you, but in the end, all your three girls, Myself, Carole and Dolores, were with you when you took your last breath, at 4:45pm, March 25, 2009; Joseph Brant Memorial Hospital. And we have treasured that moment and become much richer for it! Say hello to your new friends that have arrived in Heaven, My Dad, Don Pearce, and Dolores Dummigan.
Oh, by the way, I am still taking very good care of your green plant that was given to us the day you passed, and each year at this time, three pink blooms appear, one for of your daughters . This year, six additional , maybe for an additional family member?
We are all still thinking about you and missing you daily, and I know you were very happy to see all your children and grandchildren, together at Christmas, except for the youngest, maybe next year, we just need your help in finding him!
Love. Gail&Dennis Jon, Addison,Len, Carole &Olivia, Lucas&Rhea, Elizabeth, Ian, Amanda&Jeff, Ravyn, Damien, Hunter,and this year sad to say that there is One More in Heaven this Year with you….Neil :(.
