Janine Twarowski has been saving for a vacation to Scotland for the past two years. She was planning to celebrate her 65th birthday by going on her “bucket list” trip with one of her three daughters, but the coronavirus pandemic forced them to cancel their trip.
Adding to that, Twarowski’s husband has cancer, so the Cranbrook, B.C., couple has been coming to Calgary in order for him to receive radiation treatments, which is where they found themselves on April 18, her 65th birthday.
Twarowski told Global Calgary on Sunday that even though two of their daughters live in Calgary, she has been staying in a hotel while her husband is in the hospital because one of her daughters is a paramedic and it would not be safe for them to be together.
