The past 4 years have been unlike any others in my lifetime.
Grieving the loss of my beautiful daughter, Kait, in the prime of her life at only 23 years old is something I could never have prepared for.

But I can write. As the fog in my brain slowly lifts, the stories call out to be told.
And so, pen in hand, it begins.

Mon premier spectacle en 5 ans
Après que ma fille, Kait, est décédée en 2018, j’étais convaincue que je n’allais plus chanter. Je me sentais comme si j’avais perdu l’esprit de la musique. Je n’avais plus le coeur à chanter. Je crois que c’est pour une bonne raison qu’on dit: «il ne faut jamais dire jamais ». J’ai reçu un...
First Concert in 5 Years
After my daughter passed away in 2018, I was sure that I was never going to sing again. I felt like I had lost my spirit for music and I just didn’t have the heart for it anymore. Kait Shannon @2011 Picton, ON Well, I guess there is a reason why they say “Never say never”. I received a call in...
Gone But Never Forgotten
Today marks 5 years since Kait started on her new journey. She visits me regularly and has her own ways of making me notice her presence. It’s usually something unusual which is totally her. Makes me smile. I miss her madly I am getting use to our new way of travelling together but 5 years...
