Brasi Trip Report: January 2012

[brasi]

Photos of my day...

I had the perfect playlist...I was at the beach from around 11 am...grabbed a $250J box lunch near there and had a good time walking around the small town that is Belmont...I was only approached a few times and in a much different way than "higglers"...

As I sat there, I listened to songs that have reminded me of the past times I had. So many times I've come close to getting over the hump...we had soo mannnnyyy plans! I am in a great mood, not trying to be a negative Nancy...but to have had sarah here would have been great.

What I love most about this board is the shared experience...whether its a trip report from the Jungle or Belmont...what I saw today...a community...it is place where I could truly reflect...Sarah would definitely want me to be happy...and if their was a sunset like this in the world to see I needed to see it. Everything went right today...and because of that I spent 8 hours on the beach! And I thought a lot.

My plans in life have changed, I've been married for 15 years and divorced...my sons have grown to ages 17 and 15. As a single Dad, I had a lonely period for a few years AFTER my divorce before I found "the one"...Sarah...for so many of you who are in love please try to take me seriously...enjoy it. It doesn't come around often. She had a tough life but I was willing to fight it with her. Neither of us had any idea she would leave so soon...or had our last goodbye.

So all day I considered how much better of a man I am for meeting her, and thanking the sun and sky and the ocean for putting their best face on today. I feel blessed.

Today, right before sunset, I pretended for a minute that I could talk to Sarah. And I told her I loved her and she said we'll see each other again...the stuff of bad romance novels? Maybe. But I needed to at least get a few things off my chest. And I think I'm good...I think I'm ready to get back to the bustle of Negril...I think I'm ready to use today as the day i did my best to "let Sarah know"...that I'll never forget her but life moves on.

Looks like you had some good soulfood today, with that beautiful sunset and relaxing day on the beach. I liked seeing the different stages of the sunset...that was great thank you(it's one of the things I miss most about Jamaica). Sounds like a very productive day for you mentally. Glad you had a wonderful day

Beautiful, Brasi... it sounds like the perfect day of reflection and soul searching..
I'm so sorry for the loss you've been through.
You're going to come out stronger on the other end.
Jamaica is really a healing place, I know this from my own experiences there
