What an attack of the "sad's" I had this afternoon! I could not get myself to stop thinking about all the things Bill and I are never going to do again. Every summer, we vacation with my family in North Carolina, in the Outer Banks. We rent a huge house for the week, and it's the best time! It's a great family vacation spot. Luckily, the rest of the group is doing Disney this spring, and we had decided not to join them. Evan is still too young to drag around Disney every day for a week, and with Bill's cancer nightmare just starting at the time plans were made, it was an all-round good decision not to go! That being the case, at least I don't have to face NC this summer without Bill. I'm not sure if I will ever be able to return there. The first time we ever went was the summer we were married. There are way too many happy memories in the OuterBanks for us. The thought of never having any more vacation memories with Bill is so heartbreaking for me.
The screen-saver on our computer is a slide show of all the digital pictures we've taken. So many pictures of our summer vacations over the last eight years....sometimes it's too painful to look at them. I've been tempted more than once to take them down, but so far.....

I really Hope your day gets better. Vacations come and go and you never think there won't be another one. Cherish the memories of the ones you had and enjoy them. Some people never had the chance to make such special memories.

Your Memories will last forever, that's what's so beautiful about them. No one can ever take them away from you. For now, they will be painful, but, as time goes on, you will be able to think of them and smile. Take care of yourself my friend, and remember, we are all here for you.
Love and Blessings,
Vicki
