Well….. I am definitely an optimist. I kept rescheduling my Portuguese Camino with my two great-grand sons; thinking this 3rd time in September 2021 would be the charm. However, what ensued with my two great -grand sons was other life choices – Join the Marines for one and start college for the other. One great-grand son who before going off to college stated, “why don’t we take a week in Cancun, Mexico”. Their thrill was gone for the “trip of a lifetime”. New more immediate lifetime events stepped into their focus
My granddaughter (mom to one of boys) said, “Don’t take it too hard. Kids aren’t very good a long lead time planning”. That was that.
But…. As fate or God would have it, more of a series of unfortunate events began to happen. These events would be life changing for me.
