Generally, I do a better job of forgetting what time it is back home, but this trip, part of me is there all the time. A small price to pay, and probably as it should be, but as you say, now that my father-in-law is at rest, we will focus more, I hope, on each other, in this place, in these moments.

You know what a lucky woman you are, and I'm sorry the family is not understanding. <br />The baggage that comes to the surface for family members during times of stress like this, can be rather shocking. Seeing a persons true colours and peeking at their agenda can be disappointing. <br />Bathe in the warm glow of the sun and smell all the roses you can find. I'll hoist a glass of Chardonnay here for you on the island. <br />Best,<br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723360304687997220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-34655156605113970342013-06-09T15:01:41.028-07:002013-06-09T15:01:41.028-07:00Like Duchesse, I wish you warmth, and consolation....Like Duchesse, I wish you warmth, and consolation.LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-90084788070164308262013-06-09T14:13:17.485-07:002013-06-09T14:13:17.485-07:00Wishing you bon courage, dry shoes and more sun an...Wishing you bon courage, dry shoes and more sun and roses.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.com
