We attended a storytelling evening at The Empress in NDG. The theatre is presently closed so the event was held in the office at the corner of Old Orchard. This was the last event of the season and we attended specifically to see and hear John David Hickey. (Mom’s friend from Quebec City whom she had not seen in about 13 years.) Marie-Tangerine most enjoyed Sarah’s story about Hiroshima’s Sadako Sasaki and her paper cranes and how it tied into the story of her mom’s sickness. A very sad but moving story, I loved it too.
