There were times of heartache and disenchantment suffered through witnessing his siblings being torn apart through his mother's extreme pride and almost fatal obsession. Then in his late twenties, having the courage to emigrate with his own young family to Canada to escape a depressive and negative environment that seemed to feed on itself.

The life in their adopted country has exceeded their dreams.
