I am back after an emotional roller coaster. My time away was a reality check as to the fragility of this precious life. I do not wish to be morbid, however, sharing through writing is therapeutic for me in moving forward.

Here’s the scoop! On September 3, 2015 my cousin Colette Ali Hospedales, age 35, was laid to rest.On September 4, 2015, my nephew Roger Xavier Stewart, age 47, was also laid to rest. I traveled to Trinidad in the Caribbean to be with my family and we found strength in numbers.

Roger, an accomplished young man worked in the oilfield as a manager and was President of the Oilfield Workers Trade Union (OWTU) he succumbed to an aneurysm following brain surgery.

Colette, wife, and mother of one daughter was taken away following a long battle with cancer.

Living abroad away from my relatives is a sobering reality that I should never take anyone/anything for granted. With this in mind I am able to cope with the challenges in my life as one never knows when the gig is up.

I thank God Almighty for taking care of my family through our darkest days.

So sorry for your precious loss. Admire your idea of going to see mom, she sounds amazing. Enjoy the visit, you will be so happy you made it.

Thats the hard bit when you are far away from Loved ones - you are so right when you say life is precious and should not be taken for granted - My mother will be 101 years in Feb and we have booked flights to see her -in November - thanks for sharing

God Bless you Vena and give strength to carry on. Life seems so unfair but all souls know at a deeper level what are here for and when they ticked the last box on their agenda. We shall not judge but take every day as it comes and enjoy it. The rest, God will take care of it. Blessings to you and your family, Anna

life is a fleeting moment for us all,
live it to the full,
keep your memories,and live your life,
I am sure that is what your family would want,
and remember we are here.
