Well friend please forgive me

Baja Bernie - 12-3-2007 at 08:15 PM

I am starting out on a new path and that concerns me more than a bit. Just picked up the ashes of my life and went sort of nuts! I held them to my heart and knew they were the sum total up my life up to this point..................No one has been more loved than my wife and I will always cherish her.

But a strange thing happened as I was driving home.....Someone, I believe my Lady, spoke to me and said that she knew that I loved Baja and it's people. She went on to tell me that I should visit those loving folks that we had not been able to reach because of illness.

She said much more to me but I will not share that with you folks,

Suffice to say that she told me to stay by her side for a time and then be free to express my love for my fellow Baja friends.

I guess I have been given my marching orders!

That said, I can ony say that the real Baja folks are here to support me and to kick me in the proper direction-------south.

March on Bernie. Welcome home. I'm glad you're back.

I say, Go Bernie Go, and take your lovely lady with you. Check your email.

Bernie,

She will always be with you and pushing you----follow her demands.

Thank you for sharing such a sad, happy, and very special moment in your life.

I've never met you but my feelings are that the people left behind when someone dear to them passes are the sad ones. You will remember your wife but share your experiences with others. Hopefully I will meet you one day in Baja

Bernie,
Having returned from Baja trip recently, and having left under similar circumstances as you are experiencing, I can tell you it can be a very cathartic experience, there is no better place.

May you find peace and go when you are ready.

You have to prepare for it. Most people don't.

May you continue to keep in touch with your lady and benefit from her advice, Bernie.

David K - 12-4-2007 at 09:27 AM

Bernie, 'tell' her thanks for giving you a direction... I hope to assist you to see some of the peninsula's treasures in person that you haven't yet...

Thanks again for the sharing... what good friends do!

Going to be some nice people there in January, and we know you would love it----looks a lot more like old Baja.

Bernie,

Thanks for sharing this with us. My deepest sympathies for your loss. Being amongst friends is the best tonic. I too look forward to hearing your future stories of Baja and its people.
