Letter from the Editor: Apology for absence

 

I would like to apologize to the communities this paper serves for my prolonged absence while my family navigates my son’s medical journey.

​

Since January 2nd my family and I have been at the BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver after being airlifted south in the dead of night.

​

For months my family and I have worked tirelessly from a hospital room to continue publishing the AHN, all the while supporting our son in the hospital to the best of our ability.

​

I continue to write and manage sales when I have the time while my mother continues to edit and manage circulation with the help of my uncles Shaun and Dennis and aunties Kim and Janelle, while my children continue to inspire me daily.

​

Being so far away from the Peace has come with many challenges including upholding a household from the other side of a province while managing the AHN.

​

I have learned in recent months to never keep all my eggs in the same basket, recognizing that things can change in an instant, and often with no warning.

​

I will continue to do my best for the community in which my family grows their roots, and I want to thank the readers for being so patient and understanding.
