Finally, Im getting to post our Bermuda trip ..the Davis family reunion of sorts.. As most of you know, Dave and I got a trip to Bermuda from my parents for Christmas last year… an adult trip with my brothers and sisters and their wives and husbands….. We all got together to figure out a date in the spring when the best time for all of us could go. We worked it around Dave’s schedule mostly since he had so much going on at work.. And our kids Dance schedule with competitions …Dave had some finalist meetings around April/May.. Some traveling to do.. and my sister had some classes to finish up for Grad school.... So we decided on May 31st 2008… Dave never made it to that date.. And after the wake, my dad came to me and told me that he was going to cancel the trip.. I said NO!.. WE ARE STILL GOING! life it too short to put off.. And this was going to be the fist time the Davis side of the family was going to be all together .. I said lets go.. My Dad added the kids to take Dave’s place… I knew the trip was going to be bitter sweet for me ..and it was.. at times.. Seeing couples together.. Newlyweds .. And families with both parents together… hit hard .. But It was a good distraction for the kids to get away….and it was it a good distraction for me to get away from the craziness for a week… I know now why Dave decided on that date… I often think we could have been on that ship that Monday April 21st when he collapsed and how much of disaster it would have been not being near a hospital… and if the kids saw that… I cant even imagine how awful it could have turned out to be .. Not to say what I went through wasn’t enough to warrant being a disaster….. But to save the kids from seeing thier Daddy die… I’m grateful ……my sister put this digital book together from all our photos…enjoy… I missed you Dave It was so hard not having you not there with me.. I love you… xoxoxoxo
