didnt see one on Douglas College Global Engagment, I know there probably aint but just gonna check if anyone on here knows?

ok in March I found out my dad has stage 4 bile duct cance. and that has been really hard on me, before his diagnosis I got a summer job working for people with disabilities, and I was really contemplating going or not. But he convinced me to go. before that I had been carrying a lot on my plate, felt like I always had to be perfect because everyone always was saying how good a job I was doing, I felt I needed to be helpful to be loved. I also dont have many people id consider friends, I know a lot of people, and hang out with a lot of people, but I have no one im comfortable with. My dad convinced me to go to the job, since he knew how great of an oppertunity it would be for me. And its been so good. I have met some of the best people I've ever met, I've gotten closer to these people in 6 weeks than I have with my friends who I've known for years. on Week 2 I was super drunk at a party crying in the bathroom, and I forgot to lock the door, and my co-worker came in, and he was so helpful and supportive I told him everything. And then the next day I went home for the week and I got into a fight with my brother, since I came home after being a week away and the house was a mess, he was letting everything fall apart, and my mum was crying cause she was being overwhellmed with work and cleaning, so I got mad at my brother telling him he needed to step up and do more. He obviously didnt like that, and I wasnt being very smart I shouldnt have done that I didnt consider how he was feeling. I did apologies but we still arent on great terms. I was invited out that night and I didnt want to go, but I didnt want to be the only one not going so I went, I was doing pretty good, until I wasnt, and my other friend noticed I was off, and asked if I was ok. I said no, but didnt want to tell her that night, so I made the decision to go home that day and it defo was the right call. Then I got back to work which is up in whistler, while I live in Burnaby so not really I can go home every day sort of situation since my family only has one car, and it would be too expensive, plus our lease only has so many miles on it. but I wasnt home sick at all, I had been doing great, I was opening up to people something I am very scared to do, I told stuff to them I havent even told my parents, and they have all been so supportive. Then I got the call, they have stopped my dads chemo so thats pretty much his sentence, so I ordered an uber and went back for the weekened and asked if he wanted me to stay, but he didnt he knew I have been having a great summer so he told me to go back. Which I did, and now work is ending in 2 weeks. I have all these people im so close to, but the problem is they are all international from either England, Ireland, New Zeland or while still in Canada are in Quebec, and Ontario. so I am going to lose all these wonderful people ive met, people who are extremely rare to come by. I havent really said much about them for privacy but they are all 1 in a billion people like best of the best, and Im really sad to lose them. I dont really have a question, I just feel once they all leave, I will go back to being alone, no matter how many people im surrounded by. sorry this is so poorly written, just needed to get it out there.

im looking for a sticker of a mallard duck for a friend, theirs fell off, and I would love to know where i could find another, if anyone knows of a gift shop store or tourist store where there might be one please lmk.

ok so I am at a summer camp, and I have gotten really close in a very short amount of time to this co-worker, we are both counselors, now we vibe super well, we also hang out alot, we are always going on hikes on weekends, and ive shared to her some personal things that affect me, since she always checks on me. after the first 2 weeks ive started to develope a crush on her, but i dont know how to tell her. i know i want to, but camp is only on for 3 more weeks, then ill never see her again since she is out of country for a year and lives on the east coast of canada, while im on the west. I dont really know what i want out of it which is why im contemplating even telling her, but i know id regret not telling her. i could just use some advice.
