The mother of injured Humboldt Broncos player Ryan Straschnitzki has shed a lot of tears over the past year and that didn't change as the family finally returned to its newly renovated home Saturday.
Michelle Straschnitzki was handed a box of tissues by her husband, Tom, as the entire clan walked into the family home in Airdrie, just north of Calgary."It is. It's been a heck of a year and a bit, but we're going to celebrate this moment and keep in mind why we're here now and everybody's still in our hearts. We're grateful to be home," she said wiping away tears.
The family has been living in hotels since July while the home was renovated. It now includes an elevator down to Straschnitzki's new man cave in the basement and a separate heating unit for his bedroom because he's unable to sense when his body is too hot or too cold. Straschnitzki intends to have his friends over to watch the rest of the NHL playoffs and he's thrilled to have his life return to a bit of normalcy.
