Gerry, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. Like you, Jamaica is my healing place, usually from the rigors of everyday life & love. Also, like you, this trip is especially needed to help heal the pain of losing my wonderful Mom to pancreatic cancer this past September 7 at the age of 68. I am an only child, so there is a huge hole in my heart & my life. As you can imagine, it has been a dark few months for me. I was ready to run to Negril in September. But, I knew it wasn't time.....I needed to face my loss & grieve, instead of running away.

Thankfully, it is time........ to celebrate life (theirs & ours!) Less than a week til I feel Negril's warm embrace again. I need to try Bentley's this reach, but I'm sure we will meet somewhere down the road (West End Rd, of course!!!) & when we do, I think a toast & a hug will be in order!
