   Hi Brenda,
   Simply awesome article you wrote. I liked both the poems and the descriptive text in between. Loved the pictures and videos. It was good to see what a memorable last vacation you had with Ron. He is up there watching you reminiscing him. He is feeling good too. Thank you for sharing this well-written piece. I found it very impressive.

      Thanks Rosina...
      I'm so glad we had this time together and it all worked out....after the way it began.
      
      I really admire him for having such strength to drive us all the way there and to know exactly how he wanted to spend his last vacation.

   It was wonderful that you and Ron could have such a wonderful final vacation together. Pity about that shifty hotel though … what a shock that would have been. Glad you reported it and got your money back. Hopefully something was done so they don’t rip other unsuspecting people off.
   Thank you for sharing, Rosina.

      John...
      Thank you.
      
      It was really a bad place and we weren't the only ones standing there complaining.
      I think since the area was packed due to that concert...they thought they could get away with it.
      
      Luckily...Ron decided we weren't going to be their victims.
      
      I do hope they've stopped scamming people like this...but they are still listed on the internet.

   Hello Brenda,
   I enjoyed reading about your vacation with Ron. The pictures are beautiful and memorable. I am sure you must be feeling so good remembering those times.
   The poems are well crafted too, especially the acrostic poem.
   Great response to the word prompt.
   Thank you for sharing this.

      Thanks Chitrangada...
      It's actually bitter sweet.  I was missing him over our recent holiday ~ labor day, but he might have come to visit, but it scared me.
      A hand held radio turned on...blaring loudly .once i figured out what it was, i
      I removed the batteries because the power button wouldn't shut it off.
      
      Then I got upset w myself later...i should've remained calm and tried to see and understand.

         That must have been scary. But always know Ron's spirit will never harm you. He still loves you and would want only good for you. Allow his spirit to rest in peace. Miss him but never regret. Maybe that would help, Brenda.

            It just startled me.
            
            I know his spirit would not hurt me, but i wish I wouldn't have scared me...just so I could've focused on the reason behind it happening.

               Don't worry about it. Maybe next time you will be more understanding. I believe in you.

   Wonderful memories here, Brenda. Your experiences about the lousy room and how Ron wanted it right for the last vacation are really touching. More than the vacation enjoyment, the memories you have cherished during the vacation will last your entire lifetime. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us.
   
   Thanks, Rosina, for sharing Brenda's work.

      Thanks so much Peggy.
      I'm so glad that Ron had enough money in his account that we could go somewhere else... it was really bad...but thankfully he got those funds back.
      
      He had just taken out his 401 k for our vacation.
