Death and Bermuda

Hey Guys,

I know it has been a while and for that I must apologize. Before I get started, I would like to wish you all a "Happy New Year". All the best for the New Year to you and yours!!

So much has happened since the last time I blogged. This may have contributed somewhat to my prolonged absence, but I am back once more and ready to take charge. A family member of mine departed this life prior to the holidays. I was filled with so much grief, I found myself questioning everything about life. As the days strolled by however, I had come to the realization that death was inevitable and had no respect of person. It is up to those left in mourning to find a good coping mechanism. I however, can’t say that I have done so as yet. Each day is still a fight – I still have moments in which I find myself crying uncontrollably, and don’t even get me started on the dreams and the bad thoughts that just won't seem to go away. My desire is that one day I will get to a point where I can think of the person, and have fond memories of their time here on earth without tears.

Separate and apart from wishing you all well for the New Year, today I wanted to share with you my photo journal from Bermuda. I was very blessed to be able to travel to Bermuda just a month and a half after the above mentioned tragedy. Surprisingly, I had a grand time despite all that was going on in my life at that specific point in time.
