Kwey Kwey (Hello),
My three days in court are over and we now await the decision. I am happy yet tired that this part of my process is complete. I understand that a decision can take as long as 6 months but I am hoping it will only take a few weeks. I will let people know as soon as I receive an update.
Here is a link to the Honourable Elizabeth M. Stewart who presided over the Summary Judgement Hearing: http://www.law.utoronto.ca/about/brief-history/trailblazers-1970s/hon-elizabeth-stewart

I want to say “thank you” to the people who have stood in front of me clearing the way, the people who walked with me directing me around the many walls and corners, and to the people who stood behind me pushing me forward.
I am wondering − I would love some small beaded hearts − is there someone, or are there people out there who are willing to bead me a heart? I ask as this will help me deal with the social isolation I have lived with for the last 28 years. I am thinking 2 inch hearts at the widest part that are made out of hide. Of course full creative license belongs to the artist. If so, here is my address:
Dr. Lynn Gehl
600 Little Street #5
Peterborough, Ontario
