If you’re watching tonight’s Blue Jays game against the Baltimore Orioles, you might get a glimpse of Elwood Delaney in the stands paying homage to his grandmother, Dorothy Sewell, who was killed in the Toronto van attack in 2018.

“It will be my first game since the murder,” Delaney told NL News. “I haven’t watched them on TV. I’ll look at the app and check the scores, but it is something that I hold dearly with [my grandmother]. She was such a die-hard Jays fan. Whenever there was a big game, we would talk about it.”

“I bought two tickets [to tonight’s game], she’s coming with me. I’m going to sit there and I’m going to watch the Blue Jays win and go through whatever emotions I’m going to go through and start getting past this anger and start my healing.”

Delaney says he is glad to have been able to take his family to Toronto in May 2017, one year before his grandmother was killed when a then 25-year-old man deliberately drove a rented van down a busy sidewalk in the Ontario capital.

“The two times I’ve been to Toronto in the past – when I was a little one, and in 2017 – number one was to go to a Jays game with Nan and watch them,” he said.

“I feel like this is a good homage to her.”

Delaney made the trip to Toronto this week for the sentencing of Alek Minassian, the man found guilty in the April 23, 2018 attack.

“I’m going to go walk Yonge Street where everything happened,” he added. “I’m going to go through all the emotions, and I’m going to go see where she used to live. There is a little plaque in her memory that family members here did for her, and while I have photos of it, I feel like I need to go see it with my own eyes.”

“As much as it is going to suck reliving that day, and from watching it on the news, I’m going to relive it with a different mindset that it’s the beginning of a new chapter.”
