I hear you. My dad just passed a month ago from aggressive cancer. He was diagnosed in January and passed in Feb. It was all so sudden. I think to myself, how much time do I have ?? You don't think about it but this sudden event made me also rethink how MUCH Ive put off. So much. And we all don't truly know how much time we do have.
My dad and I used to watch Dexter together. Now the newest season came back after a few years of what people thought was the end of the series. It's finally out to DVD (the new reprisal, Resurrection) and my dad won't be here to watch it together.🙁 But I'm going to Bec I know his spirit is with me. So you should take that trip sometime, your mom will be there too🌷

I felt this deeply.

Sometimes we think time is something we can negotiate with — that there will always be a “later” when things are calmer, cheaper, more perfect. But life doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

The way you describe the ocean… it almost feels like she saw it through you, even if she never stood there herself.

And what you said about her waiting until her role as a grandmother felt complete — that says everything about the kind of woman she was. Always giving, always putting others first.

You didn’t fail her. You loved her. And she knew that.

I hope, wherever she is, she’s finally at a place far more vast and peaceful than any ocean could ever be.

There are plans my husband and I had made together, simple plans and ones that require more planning. A holiday in Norfolk broads, we wanted to hire a boat. One day I will do it. It will be a way of honoring his memory. When you're feeling up to it, you could drive to Destin and do it for her, maybe on her birthday or another special day. ☺
