I found this picture from my archived wedding folder. My brother had scanned a bunch of photos from when we were growing up to create a beautiful slideshow for my wedding. My mother is only 26 years old in this photo and my father is 30. It's crazy to think that my parents were this young at one point - and that they came to Canada with two suitcases, no money and two children (more on that later too).
This photo is also hilarious in so many ways and it must have been soon after we came to Canada because my little sister wasn't even born yet. We arrived in March '83 and she was born in August. The outfit that my brother is wearing is an outfit that all three of us wore at some point (we have pictures to prove it too) and I laughed out loud when I saw that he was drinking a Coke (more on that later). Obviously, my dress is too short for me because you can see my diaper! Scandalous..even at one and a half. haha!
We are standing on Dundas Street where it meets Grange Place. I looked it up Google StreetView and I can see the same "Income Tax" sign in the background - business must be steady if they're still using the same sign from 1983!
