Going Home
We are sitting at the airport now, waiting to board our flight home. We have had to call a premature end to our holiday due to a bereavement in the family. Whilst getting home to be with family is the undisputed priority here, this holiday will have my wife's words echoing in my ears for eternity ...
"Do we need travel insurance?", she politely inquired about two weeks before we left.
"No, I think we will be fine.", was my reply. When you put that out there into the universe, I guess you are just tempting fate.
So what started out as a fantastic way to end 2014 and see in 2015 with my family, will, in time I suspect continue to be viewed that way, just for the moment my feelings towards this trip are experiencing severe turbulence. The "Fasten Seatbelt" sign has gone on and the pilot is sounding a little nervous on the intercom.
Like all turbulence, it will come to an end and the plane will land safely.
And then there is the funeral to get through. I suspect there is more turbulence ahead ...
Until next time,
CfB
