Wow it's been a whirlwind of a weekend! Who would have known that So, there are a few things that I would like you take home from our my husband's tweet about me shovelling our driveway after my nightshift would have gone viral? experience. First of all, don't believe everything that you read or hear about in social or mainstream media; secondly, read past the headline: and to know the whole story before passing judgement. Today, we were being asked for TV and radio interviews by many major media outlets around the world, but we declined as I want to That is why I chose to write this, to directly share with those who are interested in knowing us and knowing the entire truth. I haven't really poked my head into the world of Twitter for a while as it is not my favorite, and I was reminded why this past weekend. It is a reminder of how social media can blow things out of proportion and negatively affect many users. Thankfully Jon and I have pretty thick skin, but for those who are young and impressionable, or those who are suffering from mental health issues, or are being cyber bullied, I cannot imagine make sure that people know directly from us what this entire experience has been like so far. Also, we've had many people concerned and asking how we are doing. What people should know is that I came home from a 12 hour night shift at the hospital, it was a good night which lately as you can imagine hasn't always been the case for myself and my Nursing colleagues. As I drove home, it's my time to decompress, I arrived home before anyone was awake, afterall it was a Saturday morning. As I pulled up to my driveway, I felt energy to shovel the snow that fell understanding, objectivity, and respect for each other. being exposed to such a toxic environment regularly. As a society we have to do better. We all need to promote kindness, decency. all night and into the morning. As many Manitobans and Canadians know, it's a great workout, it allowed me to unwind, it's refreshing after having worn an N95 mask almost the entire night, the weather was mild and it was quiet and peaceful. Also, for all the people Lastly, what was said by my husband on twitter was honest, genuine and sincere, this made me realize that I am grateful that he appreciates what I do and that he loves me and shows it publicly, this including us who are concerned about climate change, this is good for is nothing new. I am proud that he is unapologetically himself. So NO the environment, hence we don't need a snow blower! Most importantly, I enjoy it. Jon heard me shovelling, it actually woke him up and he was surprised and impressed to see that I had energy after a long shift to do this, so he took a pic, made breakfast and posted, and the rest is embedded in social media history forever! as per Twitter I will not be divorcing him over shovelling as many have recommended. e It was made out to be something far from the truth and has taken on a life of it's own and this happens every single day in social media/ mainstream media. We have left the tweet up in hopes that others will see how cruel and irrational people can be. Hopefully our experience can be an example of how social media/media can totally manipulate things out of For people that know us, Jon does not work the typical 5 days a week but often 6 or 7 days in a row and easily well over 10-12 hours a day. Yes he watched Tennis until early in the morning. but the fact is he often prepares and reads late at night and over the weekend, so it doesn't surprise me that Jon being a huge sports fan just stayed up in home and family. (My daughter can't believe I had to describe what the wee hours of the morning to watch our Canadians play in the ATP shovelling means to me e) Cup in Australia. context. Truly, my shovelling was an act of self care and taking care of my Thank you so much to all of our friends and family who have reached out to check on us, we truly appreciate the love and support and are blessed. For the most part, I don't really know anyone on twitter, but for those of you who understood what Jon meant, thank To us as a family we share different chores not based on any gender; but mostly on who is available to do it. I'd also like to mention that I dusted off the snow on my daughter's car too that morning, and why not? As that is what our family does. We take initiative and do nice things for one another. It's the way we roll, Jon loves cooking and I love shovelling and vice versa, it's really not a big deal! We all live busy relationships, faith and friendships are compassionate and loving and you. We really want you to all know that we are truly okay, our family lives and we have to get things done. We want to teach our kids hard work and responsibility. It's a must in life and that is why we are able to be productive in all of the things that we want to do. that is what keeps us strong. I wish the same support for everyone. Not the most exciting story, but it's the truth if it is worth something these days in the context of social media/ media. That brings me to the fact that this tweet probably would not have gone viral if the gender roles were reversed, or if my husband were not a politician. I just wanted people to know that when a person enters politics, the whole family does as well. You live under a microscope, you may lose friends and your family will make sacrifices. Thanks for reading this post, Cynthia Reyes

Do the Left Thing @manurespreader ... Replying to @jonreyes204 My wife just finished a double shift in the ICU. I told her yesterday that my caddy's shifting was a bit off. She surprised me by pulling the t----- and swapped the Johnson Rod. I'm going to have a beer in her honour while she cleans up her oily mess. 12:49 AM - Jan 9, 2022 · Twitter for Android
White Wabbit Warrior @wabbitwarrior My wife just finished a 21.5 hour shift at the hospital and now l'm watching her cut down a tree to help build a house for fatherless children. I think l'll go unwrap her a protein bar and pour her a glass of water once I finish watching women's basketball. She's] amazing. 9:05 PM - Jan 10, 2022 · Twitter for Android
