Cherish each sunrise/sunset

I have been begging my BFF of 17 years to get her passport so I can take her to Jamaica. She is always so busy with my neices(11 and 13) and my nephew (2 yrs) that she never got around to getting one. My beautiful BFF died in her sleep Sunday night 10/14/12 from a diabetic seizure. She was 33 years old, only one month younger than myself. I was at least able to make it to her home and kiss and hug her goodbye, she was still in her bed,before they took her away.After a lot of crying and reflecting about this loss, somehow I ended up of thinking of Jamaica. I thought of how many beautiful sights and experiences I wanted to share with her. I just continue to count my blessings that I am able to go my favorite place in the world 2x a year. Each sunset and each sunrise I cherish even more than before.Each time I make it back to JA is a blessing, I always feel more centered and more spiritual after I leave JA. I just needed to vent, my heart is very heavy right now, I miss my friend very bad.Also missing Jamaica.

irie luv - so sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I too have recently been reminded how fleeting and precious life is. I'm at a loss for words...

Sorry about your friend

IrieLuv - I’m so sorry for your loss.
My BFF passed away unexpectedly 6 months ago. She was 32 years old.
I can fully relate to the feelings you described. My thoughts went to Jamaica too. I suddenly needed to be there to heal, to feel centered again and to experience those sunsets…embrace life. The sadness was so heavy that I felt like only Jamaica could lift me back where I needed to be. So I booked the tickets.
I have more I want to say but I’m at a loss for words. I feel for you so much.
I just want you to know that I’m thinking about you, praying for you and your friend’s family.

Great advice Rambo. Don't put it off for tomorrow, it may never come...

irie luv..

I am so sorry for your loss.
Just want to let you know that i lost my son in 2007.
He passed several weeks before my trip, and i was hesitant to make this trip.
I know in my heart, that he would not want me to cancel, as he gave me a musical
card that played the tune, "aruba, jamiaca...ooooh i want to take ya"....
I took that trip, and it was the most spiritual trip. The jamaican people were so kind and understanding,
after i explained to them what had just happened to me. Jamaica is a healing environment. It soothed my soul.
I hope you continue your travels to jamaica, as i have.....may you find peace and consultation.

Irie Luv So sorry for you lose...Praying that Jah eases your heavy heart...

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your friend. You are so right to treasure everyday, every sunrise & sunset is precious no matter where you may be. May you find healing in your most cherished memories. Bless.
