So our journey to celebrate Fede's life and be with Marci took us to Seal Beach. It is about a 6 hour drive to Southern CA. We only had a little over 24 hours to make the trip. It felt important to mark this day with Marci, for our friendship. I still have not gotten over the loss when Marci and her family left Maui when Fede was diagnosed with cancer. She was an unexpected friend that pursues and is genuinely interested in me, I feel better when I leave her presence, and I feel I can be honest and loved.
We love hotel rooms! We stayed in Hunnington Beach. We arrived at 9:30 pm on Friday and had only a half hour before the pool closed, we changed quickly and headed for the pool. The kids were so excited, they were like jumping beans, I was so glad we could also give them this burst of happiness and excitement on a trip such as this....
Out door area with a fireplace.
We woke up to rain
Then the rain cleared for some slide action. I told Andrew, it is just wild to me that we have been a pool for more days than not for the last 9 years and then within 6 months, maybe just a handful of times. Something that was such a part of our lives. I felt nostalgic and sad for that missing part and yet we don't life our lives in the sadness, you just fill it with other things. It goes back to what I said a couple of moves ago, "you can get used to anything."
But...I do look forward to maybe more pool time in our future. It was a good remembrance of our life in Maui and a reminder to continue to seize these times in our life. There is something about being outside and active that is good for our family!
"His mercies are new every morning!"
