My Sundays with Normand

Adèle Fontaine grew up in St. Paul Alberta and has lived in Edmonton most of her life with the exception of a two-year hiatus in her late sixties during which she taught ESL in South Korea. She attended the University of Alberta and graduated from the Campus Saint-Jean. She has travelled extensively and received teachings from the Dalai Lama. She was married to Normand Fontaine for fifty-three years has seven children some wonderful sons and daughters-in-love fourteen grandchildren and two great-granddaughters. My Sunday with Normand is a selection of the poems written by Adèle every Sunday morning since her husband of 53 years passed away -- a ritual that began as a way to process loss and transformed into a true celebration of the enormous life and love they shared.
