Honoring Mom

Well, I flew to Ft. Lauderdale for the Family Assistance Foundation cruise line symposium. It was an amazing event. I spoke to a group of volunteers that also work for the cruise lines/airlines/ticket counters etc. Every one of them had such a huge heart of compassion. I talked about mom and dad's love story and then mom's passing onboard ship. When I got to the part about Royal Caribbean's care team and Cindy Rocha, I was talking about what these people all do. That's when Cindy showed up. I was a bawling idiot standing at a podium on a stage but it didn't matter. I was so glad to see her!!! She is indeed the angel I had thought she was. If it hadn't been for her, my dad would have finished that cruise alone. She helped me through Cozumel and getting past the Jones Act.

I don't know what God has in store for me but he has been truly healing my heart in the last few months. The Journey to Damascus retreat healed me from my past and allowed me to forgive myself. This past week, He allowed me to see the truly compassionate people he has placed on this earth and helped me to heal from mom's death. He is SO AMAZING! My arms are open......I await his call........
