At the end of this week, myself, my children and my grandchildren will be headed to the mountains. Bittersweet? VERY!
But Rene' and I had planned this trip before he died and after so much thought and tears, I knew in my heart that he would still want me to go. Neither of us have ever been to the mountains and we were so much looking forward to it. Now he gets to witness the beauty and glory of the mountains every day....I know he would be so happy that I am going.
When the kids first approached me about still going...all of us, as a family...I said no, I just can't. But as time went by I did a lot of soul searching and finally came to the conclusion that it was the right thing to do. I won't lie, I worried what others would say (OH she is going on vacation only 6 months after her husband died). But I realized that the ones who would think or say that...didn't really know Rene' and the huge heart he had. And he really couldn't care less what others said or thought.
So ... we are going to the mountains!
And he will be with us, every step of the way! Please pray for us, for a safe journey and for contentment.To my children and grandchildren, I love y'all more than y'all can imagine.
Poppa would be so very proud of all of you.
I know that I am!
