I know exactly what you mean about the town hurting your feelings ... Its just bitter sweat brutal at times! I would love for you to explain what excatly hurts your feelings to better understand?
Paradise is lost in the town of negril at times. Please explain what you meant when you wrote that.
Thanks!
Gerryg123 I’ve been checking in several times a day just to see if you’ve posted.
I love your personality it shines through in your writing……….as does your pain !
I can’t speak for Negril as I mentioned before I’ve only passed through,
I’m more familiar with the north coast but for sure Jamaica as much as she can give you the greatest of highs she can also bring you down and yes leave you feeling hurt…………
You’re a good man Gerryg cut yourself some slack, give yourself time to come to terms with the loss of your Dad, you don’t always have to be the life and soul of the party………..Tears of a clown and all that.
Take care Gerryg123 ya mon………….(Been watching to many of your vid’s, because I know your voice I feel like I know you I apologise if this is a little too personal)

I totally agree. Be kind to yourself, Gerry, and spend lots of quality time with your beautiful daughters. That will bring you more joy and peace than anything. You'll be back.
Here are some pics (top to bottom):

Hard to put into words, especially when I would prefer not to say anything bad about Negril period, but let's just say I've come to terms with my so-called popularity in Negril -- a lot of peeps I meet are simply interested in how much money I can give them .... but then again, so was my ex-wife, and we had some good years, lol.Originally Posted by Fun in the sun
Also, I've had a few mishaps with some thieves, and I would prefer to just leave it at that.
Margi, an expat, has seen it all in Negril, and she put it to me in a good way: "If you can be really 'tolerant', Negril is the greatest place in the world." But for me, the IF can grow bigger and bigger sometimes.
Hey Gerry...I know where your coming from..I always tell my friends who go to Jam that you need to know your pretty much seen as a only a walking dollar sign...
Some people(lets say Many) will come off as your BFF -but really ,when it comes down to it its about what you have $$$ and what they can get..I'm not saying ALL jams-there are some who would sincerely help you and not expect anything in return.This goes for foreigners living there as well...not just visiting tourists..

Here is a little video on the ocean looking up at a parasailer .....
Gerry - I do enjoy your ramblings and the Vid's & Photo's , but sometimes wondered why you are the one who is seldom smiling in them ? Maybe you put yourself out there too much and try to be the Life of the Party 24/7. Negril is a special place to all of us on the Board and there are always ups & downs anywere you go. Take the time to Grieve you Father and be the best Dad to your daughters you can be , but be true to yourself . You have touched many people and made many friends in JA now relax & reap the seeds you sowed. Dr. Frasier Crane out !
Dat true ... Maybe I should smile more in the pics after all ....

Gerry, I see you as a fun loving guy, who makes the most of your time while in Negril. Your reports are terrific and adventurous and I appreciate you sharing them with all of us.
I say keep going to Negril. You know who your friends are by now so hang with them and leave the takers to their own devices.
