    The Rest of the Story

     

    Next week will be the 6 month anniversary of her death. 6 of the longest most anguishing months of my life. I have wanted to post an update for quite a while, but couldn’t bring myself to. Those of you whom have been in contact with me know most of the rest of the story, but just to fill everyone in, the final coroner’s report from Auckland was that she died of Salmonellosis, specifically, Salmonella Weltevreden, a variant tropical strain of Salmonella found in the tropics of the Pacific and Asia. What I thought was Noro turned out to be something far more deadly.

     

    We held her Celebration of Life ceremony in Colorado Springs on April 6, which would have been her 64th birthday. It was well attended by friends and family. As is my hobby, I created a video of her life to show at the Celebration. As part of this final tribute, I’d like to share it with all of you:

    One of the most incredible things I experienced when creating this video is the lack of regret in how we enjoyed our lives together. No shoulda, coulda, woulda. We cherished our time together and made the most of it. I couldn’t have wished for a better partner, a better companion, a better wife.

     

    Remember that the next time you look at your significant other. Revel in that sense of completeness with them. Time is short on this planet and you owe it to each other to make the most of it.

     

    Thank you for sharing that touching video with us.  It certainly was a life well lived with so so many memories.  Brenda

    I have been to Mexico about 17 times always from late Nov. trough March.  It is always cold on the way South and the day after you leave Mexico to come home.  But it has always been beautiful and warm in Mexico.  You will definately want a wind breaker with hood if you like to walk the open decks as I do.  Layers as others have said.  Having been to Mexico so many times I now spend a lot of time on the ship in ports.  I have the Pool all to myself, LOL  Have a fantastic time!!!

    I just got back from Mexico (2nd visit) and we stayed on the ship the whole time too.  You get to sit in all the good seats that are taken everyday and the pool is empty.  I thought we might get board so I took games and such but never used any of it.  The weather was perfect.
