Reading this tribute to my beloved Toronto I got so homesick for her.  Yes her, for I've now spent 
ten years in a province where everything dear is referred to as a she and I've adopted it for my-
self.
What a beautiful piece of writing of a place that is truly its own in a way that few cities are.  It's
not pretty, it's not especially functional but maybe that's why the true values shine so brightly.
It's truly a city that oozes of people energy in the best sense.  Yes I'm homesick and I hope she
is waiting for the day I can return.
