“My girlfriend Joy gives me every reason to smile. The mother of our amazing daughter and a history of over 50 years. Even though we had separate lives, this amazing lady has come into my life and I could not be happier!”

“My reason for L♥ve is my loving husband Stephen Seifried and My Mum Linda Lee.
I had been very sick since 2017 and admitted to St. Paul’s Hospital where they diagnosed me as having severe ulcerative colitis. The treatment I was given over the next year unfortunately did not work and in August of 2018 underwent major surgery at St. Paul’s.
I don’t know what I would have done without my husband and Mother. We all live in Mission, B.C and they both were travelling back and forth every day to St. Paul’s Hospital to make sure I wasn’t left alone and scared, not to mention the constant worry they had for my well-being. I am not quite done with my journey but will no doubt be taken very good care of from my family. They have kept me grounded when I’m having anxious days and constantly assure me everything will be ok and that is something I need to hear now and then.
The love and support from my family, friends and co-workers have been truly overwhelming but welcoming.”
–Lori Seifried
My boyfriend Michael is not just my boyfriend. He’s my best friend and sometimes my only friend. He motivates me to be a better person and to stay focused. He’s always spontaneous and he pushes me to do better than I did yesterday. He makes me having feelings people write novels about. I’m proud and so lucky to call him mine.
