The next decade....what's in store?
Musings of a yamfooted traveller still trying to shake off those last 20 pounds as she treks across the Caribbean
This is the second anniversary of the murder of my sister's ex-husband who's the father of my 12 year old nephew (soon to be 13 next month) and 8 year old niece, soon to be 9 in November.
He was 41, was seemingly in the wrong place at the wrong time. Police theorize it was a case of mistaken identity. To my knowledge the case remains unsolved as so many of them here are.
The kids SEEM to be ok....ish. My nephew took it worse than his sister because of course he was older and lived with both mother and father as a couple.
All of us in the house try to give as much love and guidance and support as we possibly can, and surprise them ever so often. Next Thursday, they are hopping on a plane to go and stay with their godmother first then aunties and cousins and they know not a thing....
Time is supposed to take care of things. I'm hoping it's doing its job.
