Pictures of Barry and I at the front of the hotel lobby... the group of us on our last night... Barry and I outside our hotel room the day that we are going home... Barry and I taking a picture of us in the mirror in our hotel room.. being goofy!! Last but not least, a picture of the beach.. see how the land goes wayyyyy down... we walked all the way down that and then some. It was beautiful.. amazing... wonderful!! We were soo greatful for the time we had together and though we did not think we could love our children more than we already do... distance does make the heart grow fonder.. we missed out kids and love them to death!! On a sad note, a friend of mine who is also the City Attorney lost his 5 1/2 month old granddaughter on Saturday. They were in a car accident and the little girl (Daphanie) did not make it. I am so puzzled how a life is stopped short and a beautiful little girl is taken from us on earth. I know that she has gone to a better place but such a hole as been left here in the people who know and loved her. I did not know her but hugging my friend today I could feel his pain. In my worst nightmare I could not imagine having to say your final goodbyes and know that you would not have that baby to hug and kiss and watch grow up. To have soo many dreams and to know that they will not come true. To go on and keep breathing in and out everyday....knowing that you would have to do it without that precious little child. I hope that never happens in my lifetime because I don't know if I am strong enough to get through it. It has made me realize that all we can do in this life is to enjoy this very moment... THIS moment... because the next moment is not guaranteed.. Now go and hug your children, spouse, friends.... (dogs...cats... whatever)... know that I am giving all of you a big cyber hug... God Bless!

I have been looking forward to seeing your vacation pictures - so jealous! It looks like you had beautiful weather! I truly believe that god takes our youngest children because they are needed in heaven. He has a reason for everything that he does, tragic or fantastic. My heart goes out to your friend. It really makes you realize how lucky we all are and how fragile life is.
I'm so glad you had such a great time! I am SOOO jealous of your Mexico trip but it's great to have you back! And what an inspirational blog! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's daughter, that is so terribly sad. I can't even imagine what I'd do in that situation =(
