Last December, Rev Marcia announced she would be taking a group to Spain on pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. I signed up immediately. I needed something to look forward to. I was in the midst of grief after losing my beloved husband Laurence in October.
Marcia and I were in Arizona in December having lunch talking about the pilgrimage. I suddenly burst into tears as I realized the synchronicity of this trip. Wanting to encourage Laurence as he was recovering from his stroke in June, I promised him we would return to Spain (our first trip was our honeymoon) on our tenth wedding anniversary.
So I will be in Spain in September the month of our tenth year wedding anniversary. And yes I will be taking Laurence with me, although not in the form I would have preferred. I will be there on the one year anniversary of his passing.
It is a walk of faith, of love, of courage. It is a walk of letting go and of new beginnings. I trust God has a plan.
