When students have access to the classrooms they need, they thrive! This week I joined Minister @demetriosnAB to announce that Budget 2025 funds 14 new school projects in Edmonton and surrounding communities, creating 16,000 new and updated student spaces. 🏗️ 36 school projects are already underway in Edmonton & area 🏫 41 new projects across the province = 38,500 new & renovated spaces 📢132 active school projects across Alberta We’re working hard to turn permits into progress and get students into well-built schools ASAP!

@WillyGrant Deepest sympathies Willy. 🙏🏽💔

My mom is devastated at the loss of her sister. Today has been hard for her. I had to ask the nurse at my mom’s home to sedate her. It’s tough. On the bright side, my mom & I sent my cousins some flowers that I ordered online. They are gorgeous.

@WillyGrant Yes that is how I describe grief too Willy. A large wave rolling over you when you least expect it, with no way to stop it. Hugs. ♥️🙏🏽

Waves of grief wash over me. I wasn't prepared for today.

@WillyGrant I sure understand. Take care of you! Hugs

I am going to be taking a break from social media for a bit as I recover from my concussion & whiplash.

@WillyGrant Happy birthday Willy! May this year bring you joy! 🥰🎉🎂

Today is my balloon day. This is 52!

@WillyGrant Hugs dear Willy. Stress, anxiety, grief - it all is real. Take time for yourself when you can.

Widow brain is real y'all. Sometimes I can't remember what I was just doing or saying. Time also seems to go by very quickly. I can't believe it's already been a month since his passing. I guess this is how grief is presenting itself in me.

@WillyGrant @ItalianCentre @TeresaSpinelli Wonderful Willy. You and Glenn have attracted the most supportive friends and neighbours. You are Well loved. 🥰

@ItalianCentre I haven’t been eating all that much & didn’t have much in the way of groceries, so I stopped in at @ItalianCentre today to pick up groceries. I wasn’t prepared for what happened next. @TeresaSpinelli paid for my groceries. A heartfelt thank you to both Teresa & her staff. /3

20 years ago, Glenn & I moved to Edmonton from Vancouver. When we were buying a house, we told the realtor that we lived just off Commercial Drive in Vancouver and we shopped at an Italian grocer called Santa Barbara. 1/

@WillyGrant Willy you have been so brave and caring nevertheless you may find yourself in a “grief fog”. This is natural and will last longer than you would like. So glad you have lots of support around you. Hugs to you and Glenn. I will be there in spirit tomorrow at 10am. 💔

Sleep eludes me. Each night as we get closer, I sleep less.

@WillyGrant @LiveLikeLou4 @glennggrant A very courage couple helping us all understand the devastation of ALS. Thanks Live Like Lou. Hugs to all. Look for the Gofundme campaign for the Grants. ALS medical support is expensive. @glennggrant and @WillyGrant

It’s so nice to be recognized by the @LiveLikeLou4 organization the day before @glennggrant is scheduled to have MAiD. #EndALS

@WillyGrant Great to hear that Lucy will be right there with Glenn and you. Hugs to you both. 💔🙏🏽

Great news! Lucy has been cleared to be in the hospital tomorrow! This means we don’t need to transport Glenn home. I think it would be too traumatizing at this point to do so. Glenn has really gone downhill since yesterday. #EndALS

@WillyGrant Heartfelt thanks for keeping us all informed Willy. Difficult decisions. Hugs 💔

Today has been a rough day. Lots of emotions. Glenn is not doing well. He’s not going to recover. As he said, “it’s time to go”. Your support has meant the world to us as we navigate ALS. Today we met with doctor at the hospital to discuss MAiD. #EndALS 1/

@WillyGrant Hugs Willy.

Today I had to move my little corner of the living room, where I work from home, into the bedroom. Everything in the bedroom had to be rearranged. I’m now going to be sleeping on a different side of the bed. I haven’t done that in over 25 years. THIS FEELS WRONG

@WillyGrant @greatwestmedia Wow. So glad you and Glenn are okay. Hugs.

Today was an emotional one. Today we tested the Hoyer lift with homecare - the machine toppled over on it's side & we accidentally dropped The Husband. He is ok. In related news, thanks to my amazing employer @greatwestmedia I am now going to be working from home. #EndALS

@WillyGrant Wonderful news Willy. Glad you and Glenn are getting the help you need. You are a great advocate for Glenn. Hugs dear.

Currently, The Husband receives 21 hours of homecare a week. After some chats with his case manager/OT, it's going to be going up to 35.5 as soon as they can get all of the paperwork done. This is huge!! 😀 I also found out the max is 40 hours per week.

@WillyGrant Crazy Willy. I am so sorry. Contact your accountant for sure. Hugs. Last thing g you need.

I’m being audited. I don’t have the bandwidth for this right now. I’m going to see of my tax guy can handle this for me. 😤😡😠
