Coming Home

by TL Parry-Sands

From the Editor

I’ve moved a lot during my life. At birth, I wasn’t even at home. My father worked for IBM and we were in Bethesda, Maryland when I showed up. My mother, Jacqueline (Lynn) Parry, was born in Digby, Nova Scotia and my father, Glenn Sands, by virtue of being the son of missionaries, was born in British Guyana, but his family were Nova Scotians at heart, spending many years in Shelburne and Sandy Point, Nova Scotia.
