She would happily enjoy it and be grateful for it. Imagine 32 years beyond this unforgettable June 17, 1990 (as described in a post from last year shown below). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can Bambi not be grateful, especially for a life enriched by meeting wonderful people in three different provinces of our beautiful country?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is our country still the same as Bambi discovered it upon her arrival? Of course not. It is not even similar to what it was 10, five, or even just 2-3 years ago. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is Canada still worth loving and celebrating, despite our collectively insane times? Of course, always! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today&#8217;s post will be brief. It will end with a few songs to highlight this important day for Bambi, her family, and her dear friend Carla. Their friendship began on a KLM flight. Together they discovered their beloved Qu\u00e9bec. They did crazy things in their youth like taking belly dance lessons and returning to their neighborhood dancing on a bridge, ignoring cars that passed by them :). Happy June 17 to you too Carla \u2764\ufe0f!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"This Is My Canada \/ Mon cher Canada (Official Video)\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WAYhT5f0i-I?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"My Little House in Canada - Fayrooz\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZUuk2sduMGs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mon Pays - Gilles Vigneault, performed by Mathieu Bellemare\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r4IV8ndo4eA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-bambi-039-s-afkar\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"sOg0JFSrSX\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2021\/06\/17\/some-dates-are-unforgettable-june-17-is-one-of-them\/\">Some dates are unforgettable, June 17, is one of them!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Some dates are unforgettable, June 17, is one of them!&#8221; &#8212; Bambi&#039;s Afkar\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/index.php\/2021\/06\/17\/some-dates-are-unforgettable-june-17-is-one-of-them\/embed\/#?secret=sOg0JFSrSX\" data-secret=\"sOg0JFSrSX\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/heart-12.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19987\" width=\"253\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/heart-12.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/heart-12-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 253px) 85vw, 253px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, time flies, even if three decades is a long time in someone&#8217;s life.
