Today has been rough. I’ve really been struggling. I didn’t
know what to do with myself all morning. I wandered aimlessly around the ship,
laid in my bed, watched a movie, listened to music and did crosswords, tried to
do anything to get my mind off of you. All I want to do is cry, but my body won’t
let me.
One of the passengers, Jenn, who was actually a staff member
on my Summer 2011 voyage decided to hold a little party for those of us on the
Enrichment Voyage who sailed Summer 2011. It was a lot of fun. She ordered wine
and crudités. We shared stories and memories. It was a good time. After the
party we all went downstairs to the dining hall and kept the storytelling
going. It was great to reminisce.
After dinner, Jenn, a woman named Kristine, and I went up to
the piano bar and talked. Jenn lost her dad while she was a student on SAS in
1991, and Kristine has lost her father as well, so they are able to understand
what I’m going through. It was nice to talk with them and share stories about
you, get advice, and just talk in general. I miss you so much, Mom. I’ve been
having the hardest time today. I need some comfort. Please visit me tonight.
Tomorrow morning we arrive in Puerto Quetzal, Guatemala! I’m
excited. I will be doing a guided tour of the colonial city Antigua. I have no
idea what to expect. All I know is that the temperature will be in the 90s!
I’m having a hard time formulating thoughts tonight, Mama.
My writing is not very cohesive, and I don’t feel that I am doing myself or you
any justice by continuing to ramble. God, I miss you. Today has been rough.
Tomorrow’s a new day.
