Happy Anniversary Sijo & Linda

Today marks my parent's 34 years together.

Sijo and Linda Patenaude

When most couples these days call it quits because of some little argument or the inability to reconcile small differences, seeing my parents happy, in love and sharing the same vision of sharing the benefits of martial arts training they've had since they've met, turning to each other for support during challenges in life and in business.

Raising 4 kids, hitch-hiking to Ottawa with nothing but a gym bag, and proving to themselves and their students that everything is possible if you have a dream and stick to it no matter what.

They have my admiration.

"It's easier to aim when someone did the missing for you."
And for that, I am very thankful.
