51. One Girl. One Journey – One Day at a Time

11,446 Comments / BLOG / By Carolyn McCormack

November turned in December. December became January. Then February. March… they were quiet months. I spent my time with family and close friends. Eventually I was able to stop myself from thinking about Mom and Bear. Just block it completely. I only allowed myself to think about them when I was feeling strong. And only …

52. One Girl. One Journey – Media

5,837 Comments / BLOG / By Carolyn McCormack

I went through some of my boxes trying to find the media that I have from some theatre productions and other performances that I had a recording of. I found the interview with Colin James, but I have to get a little hand tape recorder like the one I used for the interview to make …

  • 10. One Girl. One Journey – The Dark Years
    After Dad died, we all fell apart. We all dealt with the loss in our own way. My relationship fell apart as well. We went back and forth a few times, but whatever we had was lost. I wasn´t the same person anymore and I can imagine he had no idea at 18 years old, […]
  • 9. One Girl. One Journey – Teenage Years
    My teenage years were very typical. They were uneventful years, the life of a normal teenage girl. High school September through to June. Then summer jobs. The last year of highschool, I decided to move in with my boyfriend. It was cool to have my own space, no one to tell me what to do, […]
  • 8. One Girl. One Journey – Carnival Queen – 1979
    There was an announcement in high school that there was going to be a beauty pageant. My friend and I decided that we were going to enter. Why not? So we did, and I decided, naturally, that my talent portion would be to sing. My friend decided to sing to, so we got together as […]
  • 7. One Girl. One Journey – Childhood Years
    I remember my childhood to be very typical. Just like everyone else´s. But it wasn´t – at all. We were very different. I think the things that made our family unique was that because there were 6 of us, we didn´t really need friends. We had them, but we were just as happy playing with […]
  • 6. One Girl. One Journey – Mom & Dad
    Mom lived in a small little town in Northern Ontario. She was the youngest child of three. She had flaming red hair (which I inherited) and was a tomboy when she was little.  As she matured she became very independent.  She wanted to be a professional dancer.  I didn´t even know that until 2 years […]
  • 5. One Girl. One Journey – Dad
    I guess the reason I chose to start the beginning of my story with an ending of another´s is because it´s a crucial point in my life. It was like my ending too. The end of a life that I just took for granted. I mean, I was happy. I was living with my boyfriend, […]

    Original Journal entry – July 1981
  • 3. One Girl. One Journey – July 28, 1981
    We had spent the next month taking turns visiting Dad at St. Mike´s.  My brother, my boyfriend at the time and I spent the weekend of the 24th  in Toronto visiting him.  He was in great spirits and we left to come back home to Parry Sound happy that he was doing so well.  But […]
  • 2. One Girl. One Journey – Negotiating a Life
    That Friday night, we all waited in the waiting room. Mom, me and my 4 sisters and brother. After what seemed like forever, I remember the doctor came out and told us that Dads back was broken and he said Dad would be paralyzed from the waist down. They were flying him to St. Michael´s […]
  • 1. One Girl. One Journey – June 26, 1981
    Journal – June 26, 1981 – 9:30 p.m. Dad. Accident. Broken back. XXX June 26, 1981 – 9:00 p.m. I was in my apartment. Pillows stacked behind my back, I was working on a crossword puzzle in bed. It was a beautiful June evening.  All of a sudden, I heard the sirens of an ambulance. […]
