It's not really raining today but the sun isn't really shining either. Kinda like the weather on the day this picture was taken. This was in Virginia Beach, probably around 1998. It was April, that much I do know and would have to have been 1998 since Michael and Jon were with us and they were 16 and 15 respectively. David and I had taken advantage of a couple of time share offers to spend a few days in Va Beach at hotels for free. He was always very good about the great unknown and taking advantage of a time share offer can be a crap shoot at times. But we had a good time nonetheless.
I snapped this picture the day we were leaving to return home. David had just said to me, "I love you THIS much." And he certainly did. That much and more. It's been almost 11 years since David went on to the next level. In all of that time I have discussed, worried, wondered and fretted over what to do with what was left behind. I have pretty much decided that this is the year to finally make that decision and act on it. So later this year in the fall, David and I are going back to the beach one last time. I found the perfect place and I think he'll like it there. Many of you would agree, especially those of you who knew him personally. Near Daytona, there is a very cool nude beach. I am going down in early October and that's where I will leave his ashes and where I will go looking for him when I go back from time to time. It feels right.
Miss you lots Bear.

Ms Kelly Kitty, in the dictionary under courage and moxie is a picture of you. I know you are going to come out of this dark period you are in and you will be better. It might not look like it now, but it will. I love reading your writing and look forward to your installments.
Many hugs!!
Absolutly Melinda, the more the merrier. Although I gotta tell you, Kelly's baggage is packed for a short trip, my baggage is a full fledged move across the country! But I am tossing it one bag at a time. Hang tight! It could get bumpy! Please feel free to comment any time you like! "Mi blog es su blog" lol
