Dear Whiskey,
So very sorry for your loss. I know it's hard but please try and take some comfort from the fact that she was happy and by the sounds of it lived a good life.
Kind Regards

Really sorry about your tragic news. I was reading that article in the paper today- Daily Mail- and thinking to myself how awful it was.
You are right about living for today. You have convinced me further that we are doing the right thing emigrating. I don't want to have any 'what ifs' when I am older.
My thoughts are with you.

I don't know whether you have watched the news this evening about a boat capsizing on the River Severn at Stourport on Severn, killing a woman.
That woman was my cousin.
There is so much I could tell you about her, but at the moment I am totally stunned by it all.
She lived her life, and was very happy, and luckily, I know that she was very happy on this last weekend.

i am so sorry to hear about your cousin, you are very brave and i am sure that she is looking down on you with admiration
i'm not all that close to my dad but he once said to me along time ago, that 'life is not a dress rehearsal, enjoy every moment of it', it sounds to me that your cousin did just that,

Follow your Destiny
I found this today, and thought you might like to read it.
Follow your Destiny, wherever it leads you.
There comes a time in your life when you realize that if you stand still, you will remain at this point forever. You realize that if you fall and stay down, life will pass you by....
Lifes circumstances are not always what you might wish them to be. The pattern of life does not necessarily go as you plan. Beyond any understanding you may at times be led in different directions that you never imagined, dreamed, or designed. Yet if you had never put any effort into choosing a path, or tried to carry out your dream, then perhaps you would have no direction at all.
Rather than wondering about or questioning the direction your life has taken, accept the fact that there is a path before you now. Shake off the ''Whys'' and the ''What ifs,'' and rid yourself of confusion. Whatever was ~ is in the past. Whatever is ~ is whats important. The past is a brief reflection. The future is yet to be realized. Today is here.
Walk your path one step at a time ~ with courage, faith, and determination. Keep your head up, and cast your dreams to the stars. Soon your steps will become firm, and your footing will be solid again. A path that you never imagined will become the most comfortable direction you could have ever hoped to follow.
Keep your belief in yourself and walk into your new journey. You will find it magnificent, spectacular, and beyond your wildest imaginings.
By Vicki Stevens.
I would like to dedicate this to all of you on expats.
