The two sisters travelled from the United States, where they live with their families, to be with their father, John Messerlian, in New Brunswick. The sisters crossed the Canada-U.S. border almost two weeks ago and have been self-isolating in a tent about nine metres behind their parents' home in Rothesay. John Messerlian didn't want to spend the final days of his life in palliative care at the Saint John Regional Hospital. "There was no doubt, no matter what was happening, I would drive to the border," Lara said. Carmen and Lara Messerlian returned home from the U.S. and are counting the hours until they can hug their father.
