It was so sad to say goodbye to Barb today. Right now she's way up in the sky flying back to her home in Nova Scotia but it's the best thing for her to do. My hope is that her family take her directly to the hospital for evaluation because she's begun to weaken and sicken even more these last few days she's been out of the hospital. This woman is one of the dearest, sweetest souls I've ever met and it hurts to think I'll probably never see her again. I'm hoping for a miracle to allow her to get better and be able to come back to Florida next winter but I have serious doubts that will happen.
Canadians, especially, know there will come a day when health or expense will put an end to our wintering in Florida and that's one of the biggest reasons we enjoy what time we have here. This was probably Barb's farewell to us but none of us are too far behind her. Our farewells are some time in the future, maybe even the near future.
But life does go on here even after some of our loved ones leave for good and tonight is the Luau in the clubhouse. We'll eat a nice meal and have a good time. We'll speak of Barb and how much we'll miss her. But life does go on...for a while.
