We arrived in st lucia yesterday. We are staying at the most picturesque and idyllic place I've ever been. It's as close to heaven as I'll ever get. There are so many couples with kids and of four Jonathan has been going around like he's locked himself in a candy store. The best thing about this place is that they have achildrens program that will occupy him all day long. I also signed lilly up for a 5 day spa package, gives me a whole hour to fully enjoy my time. There is no cell service and very limited WiFi, I'm actually sitting outside of the spa which sits at the very top of the resort. The view from here is simply stunning. The resort sits in an alcove sorrounded by the 2 highest mountains in st lucia. A bottle of beer would absolutely complete me right now.
Even with all the positives of this vacation, I've been thinking of my daughter. It hit me hard on the airplane. I was overwhelmed with how much I miss her. I couldn't stop crying. I was reading a book about angels and I was ok until I got to page containing a prayer. There was also a movie that was playing, forgot the title but it was about a woman who had just lost her husband. He knew he was dying so he set it up so that a letter would come from him at certain times to help her get through her stages of grief. It hit me then that maybe it was a sign to let go of my own grief. I brought a Locke of her hair with me and I was planning to let it scatter with the wind and I think the perfect place to do it is from the top of the resort. I will wait till the end of our stay.
I guess that's it for now. I hope to have more to say in a few more days.
