This is a LO about what we used to call "the dream". My husband and I saved for 3 years to buy a cruising sailboat. Then we worked on it for 4 years to prepare her to go cruising. We had plans to go cruising, leaving CA and sailing south and thru the Panama Canal to the Caribbean. It wasn't his dream, it wasn't my dream, it was OUR dream. My father got Alzheimer's and my mother couldn't handle taking care of him on her own anymore. We bought the house across the street from my parents and helped out with dad for the last 3 years of his life. Buying the house across the street from them was my husbands idea. I've always wanted to let him know how sad it makes me that "life got in the way" and we lost our dream. But I also want him to know I still think there is a possibility. The journaling says: Do you see disappointment that we didn't go cruising? I hope you see that choosing my family and taking care of my dad was the right thing, even if it was not what we planned. Do you see that the dream isn't completely over? Maybe we can pull off a cruise to Mexico somday, or do the Ba Ha Ha. I see a wonderful, caring man who sacrificed our dream of cruising to do the right thing for my family. I hope you see all the love I have for you because you are that kind of man. I hope you see the possibility of not letting the dream go completely. I want to see us realize the dream of getting on Nehalennia and sailing away...even if it's not the way we dreamed it when we bought her. Do you see the possibility?" This LO was done for the Fabulous FreeStyle challenge in Feb. I lifted Tara's "See".
