Arrangements were made to be picked up by my Mom and Dad and my best friend Marion, who brought her truck to assist in transporting things back to my home. My favorite niece, Jennifer was also there with her friend. Jennifer spent the past week with her Grandma and Pop Pop. It is going to be an adjustment, I knew, working our way back into civilization. We got 4 cart loads off Casa Mare and the girls headed to the cars as Fred and Dad took to boat to an anchorage in Banks Channel. Mom had dinner going and by the time we got to their house Jim and Linda had come in to pick up Jennifer. Fred and Dad came up the creek in the dinghy, smiling away, and it was the first time in a very long time Dad had been on the creek since he sold all his boats. It was great to see everyone again.
I don’t look at this as the end of a great adventure, only the next chapter in our life adventure together. Sometimes I wonder if this is all a dream, threatening myself to pinch myself. I am so happy now, I have a wonderful man in my life, I have gone through many thoughts of where I was a few years ago and how much I have grown since then. It took all of that to get here, to find Fred and to learn that God has a plan for each and every one of us, and his plan for me was six months in a “Sea Cradle” as he nurtured me through the journeys of growth, teaching me to trust him, to let go and let God. I truly believe that. It is never the end, just another beginning each day I open my eyes. My sails are always up, ready to be filled with God’s glorious gifts waiting for me. Full sails and following seas, and when things are not comfortable, I will just adjust the sails keeping them full of life and wonder. Be silent and listen. May your sails be filled with beautiful whispers of wind, laced with the awesomeness of God’s plan for your destiny.
