My first and foremost intent is to keep a record of this "Once in a Lifetime Experience"-
After 40 years away from Argentina with only 3 short visits during this time, I have returned
for 82 days.
On July 15 of this year...I slipped in front of my house on wet grass and landed with my forehead on the sidewalk...luckily my daughter was home and drove me to Emergency. Ten stitches on my forehead, a mild concussion and several cuts and scratches later...I was home mending and wondering...now what? Quiet time is good, we dont usually get that luxury often, but when we do, it can be a scarry thing :)...at least it was for me!
...At this particular time in my life I find myself a little lost.
Samantha is away at University, I´m still grieving (I always will be) for my son Steven, who was killed by a drunk driver 2 years ago. Since his death...I often say that we are all living a "new life" ..his Dad says that "...some days are harder than others but they all hurt". Nothing seems the same or at least I don´t see everything the same. I continue to hope and try for as many good things to happen out of our tragedy but this takes will-power and energy...and Im tired!
So while recuperating from my fall, and with family and friends support I decided to return home, take time off ...rediscover my birth country and take time to just be....me..whatever that might be or where ever that might take me... welcome to my journey...:)
Very nice, and very moving, Sandra. I like your blog and like what you just said. I hope you'll find some of what you need on this trip. Love,
