My Travel Story

Not really sure how this works or even if it will work but it's definitely worth a try.

So to start with a bit of background about me. I'm 38 and I lost my mum to cancer 11 years ago, her last wish was to be scattered in the Gulf of Mexico at St. Petersburg Beach Florida(a place where, as a family we had spent many happy holidays in the 80's/90's) Unfortunately my dad, brother and sister chose to do this without me. Fast forward to 2013 and I lost my dad in January of that year to a tragic car accident, his last wish was also to be scattered in the Gulf of Mexico. Despite an assurance that my siblings would tell me when they would be going so I could be there they chose to do it themselves which I only found out online.

I have suffered from deep depression for many years which has been made worse by both of these events and the fact that I find myself unable to 'let go' or 'move on' I would like to take my family to visit where my parents are at rest and to allow myself the time and place to grieve and finally put any ill feelings to bed.

Thank you for reading.
