(Submitted by Robert Grant - image credit)For a family from Ukraine, a summer at their cottage near Cornwall, Ont., was "idyllic." Robert and Iryna Grant spent their time nesting after welcoming their daughter Olivia at the Montfort Hospital in Ottawa in March — five weeks early, something Robert Grant attributes to the stress of their arrival. The family had always planned to have their daughter in Ottawa, but their plan to leave Kyiv, Ukraine, was sped up when talk of war became serious in February. His family could visit him there, but none of Iryna's family could make the trip from Ukraine.
