In a year from now, we will be here-Playa Del Carmen- as a family....Mom, Nik, Mike, Jack, Cooper, Brian, Me & Baby Girl Dew. There will be huge hole in our hearts as we vacation in one of Dad's favorite location without him. I am sure it will sting. But I am also sure the fun that our sweet little girl and Jack and Coops will have will be proof that life goes on...
Mom is reluctant to make any plans these days, but Nik and I have been trying to quitely encourage her to make this plan...to make this plan with her girls and her boys. Dad would laugh at her if he heard saying she didn't want to go.
I think making these plans is a reminder of who is missing. Even as Nik was on the phone with the travel people it was strange to hear that we would have to pay for 4 adults in the suite, even tho there would only be 3 of us. I told Nik we would be paying for Dad's spirit.
I also think this will be a great trip for us....it will be after the " Year of Firsts" without Dad. It will be proof we all survived. It will be proof that we are still a strong family even tho we are one man down.
And, on a light & completely selfish note, after being 6.5 months into no drinking, this girl is looking forward to an all inclusive resort!
