What a time we had in Newfoundland. We laughed, we cried, we kissed and we hugged. Reconnecting with family and friends does the soul a world of good. After realizing how fragile life is this trip to Newfoundland was somehow sweeter than the rest. Most things in life are out of our control but the key is to enjoy the good things and that was what we did.
From Port aux Basques to Flatrock we visited a lot of family and friends - thank you all for putting us up and treating us to wonderful visits. I happily attended a baptism and I sadly attended a funeral. Mom and I furniture shopped, flooring shopped, shopped in general really which is always good for our well being. Jacob enjoyed his grandparents, his aunts and uncles and his cousins, he did things he could never do here with them and loved every minute.
Jason went home and did what he always did, read books. ha He did insist on taking me to Trout River for our ritual feast - that was wonderful.
Thanks to everyone who provided the fresh cod, salmon and trout. I would have swam home if I could. Jason enjoyed his turrs Audrey cooked up even though he had forgotten what they had tasted like. The BBQ's we had with family and friends were wonderful, relaxing.
Seeing everybody always made me think how lucky we were to be seeing each other with Jason by my side. I know how great that is, I don't think I will ever take him for granted again and I know I did that before last June. I tried gently explaining this to Jacob this summer and I know he gets some of it but I do not think he will fully comprehend everything until he's older and I hope this happens slowly over time. Some people stated it "Jason is so quiet now" or "he's different" and he is. I have changed too. I am just glad he's here for people to notice the change.
