I have begun to wonder if Scott was really alive this morning or if it was his spirit I saw. Yes I know that makes me sound pretty crazy! Maria and I walked to the river this afternoon and while we were there I found Scott’s body.
I didn’t take my normal morning stroll to the river this morning because there is someone staying in the cabin on that side. I know it shouldn’t but, it does make a bit uncomfortable, sort of like I’m in their back yard, so I waited. The question is……would I have found Scott earlier if I had gone to the river at the usual time.
he chose such a nice place to let go. I have stood here every morning with not only Scott, but Chiripa, Mali and Scrappy. I suppose it was for this reason I wondered if it was his spirit coming to me this morning trying to lead me here to this special place of mine; of ours.
I was sad that he did not allow me to spend the last hours of his life with him, but he seemed to need the space. It is good to have closure, I won’t expect him to be waiting at my door anymore, I know he is gone, no more doubts. Javier had found some beautiful orchids attached to a banana tree near my cabin, so I felt it was only fair to share them with Scott. I place some rocks in front of the opening where he lay and placed the orchids above him. I love orchids and these ones are quite unusual. Maybe you can see the heart on the inside of its petal in dark red. The words from my father continue to echo in my mind for so many reasons lately; “The path of the heart can be difficult”……
He is right on the river, a beautiful spot……he chose Well 
The orchids found today. Can you see the heart?
Well, this time it is final – I wish you well on your new adventure señor Scott. May you continue to bring smiles to those you meet where ever you are…..
