Why do I want a happy ending? Doesn’t everybody? Endings aren’t happy in the real world, and I’m not talking about the completion of a project. I mean the goodbyes we inevitably have to say; those times when someone you love leaves you temporarily or permanently. It is the price of love to feel the agony of their departure, but that doesn’t make it less hurtful just because it was better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. Death is probably the harshest goodbye of all, but even a temporary separation still leaves a void until you see your loved one again.

After returning from Alaska, life hasn't slowed down. That is why I won't spend much time on this blog. In June, I fulfilled a life-long dream to do an Alaskan cruise, and I would recommend it to anyone. We were on the Disney Wonder for our cruise, which I would also recommend. Disney knows how to make your vacation memorable.
Since I'm trying to get my next book, Settlers ready to publish, I don't think I can do Alaska justice with my words. I'm also going through the struggle of watching my 13 year old cat rapidly decline. I wrote a blog specifically about that to help me deal with the pain, but in the end, nothing can help. Seeing my beloved Tigger sick makes it difficult to concentrate on my regular tasks, and this blog isn't even a normal part of my routine. I'm just going to share my photos of Alaska, and I hope that someday you decide to go there. I'm not a photographer, but you will get the main idea. |
