Times Colonist helps start the day

As an elderly lady of 88, I cast my mind back to my childhood where my sister and I sat on our parents’ bed to open Christmas presents.

My father. a heavy smoker, died at 54 while my mother passed away at 104. I will never forget those happy days prior to the Second World War. Wonderful memories that appear to be lost in this modern-age madness.

The one good thing my husband and I enjoy is reading the Times Colonist six mornings each week. Your paper is always waiting for us when we get up.

Please keep maintaining the excellence of the TC even though there appears to be little to cheer about in the modern era.

The Times Colonist starts our day with an uplifting hour and we maintain that attitude for the rest of the day.
