Gywn and I have been traveling all over Florida this past week and a half. We started at my brother's house for a few days. Then, we moved on to Daytona Beach to spend some time with Wes's family. We were able to see several people at Holly Hill and enjoy a nice Easter Sunday lunch as a family. Afterwards, we headed on down to see Wes's dad and Dan, then on to Cape Coral. I know I have said all of this in previous posts. It's just been a whorl-wind of a trip for Gywn and I. I haven't been outside of Connecticut for a year and a half. So, it's been wonderful to travel and see friends and family.
We left Cape Coral on Saturday and drove up I-75 and Hwy 301. On the way, we stopped at a small-town Strawberry festival. They had some of the most amazing strawberries I have ever seen. I only bought a few to bring back with me. I wish I could take some to Wes, but they would never make the whole trip. I did buy Gwyn a small pearl bracelet, which she will wear a few years from now.
Tomorrow we will get in the car for one more trip. We are returning to Tennessee to relax, do laundry, play with Hera, and pack for the next trip. Gwyn and I are flying to see him this week. I know he must be very excited. When we were at Hope's house, I pointed out Wes's picture on the wall. She just went crazy looking at her daddy. She has been saying "da da da da da" so much. I am really looking forward to Wes hearing her for the first time. (She hasn't said it on the phone yet to him.)
Today has been a trying day for me, at least as an Ombudsman. I have a sailor that needs your prayers. I can't say why, but he and his family could really use some uplifting prayers. I have spent most of the day tending to their needs and hoping that some good news will come soon. I appreciate all the sailors on board who took time out of their day to donate money to the family. My heart goes out to this family. He has a long recovery ahead.
I don't want to leave on a sad note. So, I shall tell you that I am very proud of my daughter. Saturday night after we arrived at Aaron and Celia's house, she was lying on the floor. My mom looked over at her as she sat up all by herself. (Of course, she hasn't done it again with me watching; typical.) But, she is the light of my life. And, Wes is my rock. My world and my life is wonderful. I am sure this is the happiest I have ever been.
I wish you all a safe and happy week. We miss each and every one of you. Hopefully we will see you (or hear from you) all soon.
Love, Jen.
