I ask him what his favorite memory of the trip is? The beach? The condo? Riding with Grandpa Jim? Nope, Colton shakes his head emphatically.
Well, I ask, what is it then?
Coming home!! He says with a silly grin. My bed! My own room again!
He then proceeds to say "and playing with my cousins, finding shells, seeing dolphins right out of our room, everything- pretty much its all my favorite. "
I couldn't agree more.
I surprised myself by only taking a few hundred photos- um, for me that isn't a lot.
But as I looked through them, I saw that they truly capture the essence of our time together and over the next few days, I will share more.
I see Dr. Panwalkar this morning and then will have infusion.
So glad you had a great trip and made lots of memories! Hoping your treatment goes well today!
ReplyDeleteThanks Genny - blessings on your day :)
DeleteBack to the old drawing board eh?
ReplyDeleteWell with all these memories to look at, it will keep you happy.
I love the ocean sunsets and sun rises They are so beautiful.
Yep- back at it- but with a reprieve behind me that I will indeed carry forward.
Deleteso glad you are home and that you had such a wonderful time away! Those beach pictures took my breath away just a bit - I am missing the beach so much - its been warm here but I haven't had the chance to escape for the day and go to the beach! I can't wait to hear all about the trip!
ReplyDeleteblessing you and praying for your appoint and infusion!
xoxo
I thought of you Tiffany! The only thing missing on my afternoon date with the beach and the sun and the water- was another beach lover like yourself! I hope you get to go soon!!
DeleteSo much beauty in this. Prayers that all will go well today.
ReplyDeleteI felt surrounded by natural beauty for sure Susan- I think you're wonderful ability to see and capture such natural beauty would have ensured some stunning photos!
DeleteSo happy to hear that you all had such a wonderful time! There's nothing like being near the ocean that seems to calm the soul.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today and saying some prayers also.
Hugs!
So true Eileen- that is exactly what the ocean does for me. Thank you for those steadfast prayers :)
DeleteOh, lovely lovely pictures! And coming home is always Camden's favorite part of any trip, even if it is an overnight trip to Brian's parents.
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny- I think he would get along well with my Colton :)
DeleteThinking about you a lot!
ReplyDeleteX
Oh thank you Maddy- hugs to you :)
DeleteColton's response is exactly what I thought he would have said. He is a wise young man.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful, and I would love to see every one you took. I imagine they are all spectacular.
I am away from home right now (in NC) and am typing on an itty bitty phone keyboard, but wanted to welcome you home, send you love and hugs, and let you know you are always with me in my thoughts.
Welcome home, my friend!!!
I hope you are enjoying your time in NC- and I pray you are visiting Mama and Papa and that they are both well. Hugs friend!
DeleteLooks like a beautiful place to rest, relax, and breathe. I hope you did all of those things, and were loved well and ate well and felt peace and joy.
ReplyDeleteThought of you every day you were gone.
Hope infusion went well and you aren't too worn out from all of the traveling.
Much love to you!
Jennifer- you are too sweet- thank you for the good thoughts- I did manage all of those things you mentioned and felt quite blessed by it all. Much love to you sweet one!
DeleteWelcome home! and I look forward to seeing more pics of your vacation together - looks like a great place to unwind and breathe in the healing sea air.
ReplyDeleteHave a good day today -
Thanks Karen- as you well know- the sea air is truly quite healing! I hope you have a good day too :)
DeleteSo glad you were able to go, Vicky, and equally happy that you are home in your own digs. That one photo of the sun seeming to rent the clouds in two is spectacular. Lots of metaphors could be injected there but I'd love to have a copy of that. GREAT capture. Thinking of you today and have something to send you. Will try to get it in the mail by tomorrow. Big hugs.
ReplyDeleteWill email you a copy- I was thrilled to wake up and have it be the first sight of the day- it was stunning. We loved our walks on the beach every day :)
DeleteVicky, welcome home!!! {{}}
ReplyDeleteSweet friend, It looks like you had a wonderful time on your trip. I hope things went well at the doctor's office. I completely understand where you're at. You are in my prayers. If you ever need to talk I am here.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers!
