I know it' been forever since I posted. It's been a rough couple years and just hadn't really had anything I could share or felt like sharing. All I do is work and sleep ... boring life trust me. I kinda secluded myself and it's been hard to break out of it. Kid troubles as always. Youngest daughter and kids are back living with me so my house is full along with my private time.
I did just get back to Jamaica for the first time in 7 years. A friend of mine wanted me to go and took me on an AI trip to Merrill's. By the way Merrill's was a nightmare and not a place I would ever stay again. So much has changed in Negril and the vibe just wasn't the same. Of course I don't hang like I used to or drink as much so that could have had something to do with it. I pretty much stayed close to the resort. We hit all the nightly parties which were BORING. Slow season was dead. I have never seen Alfred's so dead in all my trips. They even closed down by midnight both times we went. Bourbon beach seemed to be the only place that had anything going on but then they had DJ's playing retro music, definitely not my thing. Went to visit with Jah B and I sure missed my likkle cottage and the lane but it was so hot I know I couldn't have made it there. For the first time I required air conditioner. It was so so hot and humid I just don't ever remember it being that hot. Must be old age setting in. LOL
To be completely honest the highlight of my trip was getting to spend some much needed time with my husband. It had been so long and I thought things had changed but as soon as we seen each other it was like we had never been apart. My memories of Jamaica are with him and without him I just had no desire to be there and I never expected that. I guess when there is true love and respect a few years just don't change that. He's doing good and driving a bike taxi in Grange Hill. He had a bad wreck and was pretty banged up. Thank God he was OK. He definitely reminded me why I married him almost 10 yrs ago and how wrong I was for not answering his calls the last couple years. When I shutdown I shut everything and everyone down including him.
I think most of you know I suffered a lot of death in my family in a very short time then my sister was diagnosed with Cancer and they gave her 5 yrs to live. That was pretty much the straw that broke me. I spent everyday of my vacation with her and put all my energy in her and searching for a miracle. God granted that miracle and it's now been over 6 yrs and she is still with us. My sister is my best friend and I can't imagine life without her.
So I just wanted to check in and let you guys know I'm still alive and kicking. I miss you all and think about you daily. Thank you for keeping this board going and using it for what it was intended, friendships that can share anything and be there for one another in need. Life is too short for holding grudges, taking things out of context, having enemies so please try and understand the next person and their opinions and thoughts. If you don't agree then you can always say so in a nice way without attacks. We all disagree at some point or another but we should all still remain friends/family. That is what this board is about. Sharing our lives whether they be happy times or sad times.
Love you all and thanks again for keeping this place alive for us all.
