Please get better, soon.
This is a snap of a north coast beach on Kauai, HI. It was taken last July at the second-to-last beach spouse & I went to in search of the "perfect sunset."
This was an accident.
A wrong turn.
Several miles drive through an abandoned pineapple field. All there was was field and giant green hills in the distance (part of one--as it meets the ocean--is pictured).
It took about twenty minutes of driving our tiny skateboard-of-a-rental-car slowly enough to negotiate the bumpy terrain but at the same time trying to keep up with the single other vehicle--a pick-up truck--in the dried-up immense pineapple field that went on for miles before we came to the ocean to what once was a small state park.
It must have been abandoned years ago as all appearaces indicated that it had l-o-n-g ago ceased to be attended to. (Woman's bathroom/changing room: ugh! Hand's down the worst I've ever seen.)
When we returned to our rented condo that evening I finally had a chance to try and figure out where we ended up. Most of that area of the map indicated is was US Gov't owned.
After some searching and rough calculating, I realized that we had happened upon a piece of Island real estate waytooclose to Barking Sands Missle range...
Lauren had to get a tracheotomy in the last few days. Her lungs are not strong enough right now to sustain her. In a way I'm glad that the trach tube is out. I was scared...still am, but my son seems pretty okay. I just want, want, want her to heal.
I bootlegged a copy of Ice Age: The Meltdown for her as she was a real fan of the first Ice Age movie. My son said she was able to watch it on her laptop and she liked it...so that's a tiny bit of something. My son's idea and it was a good one; my execution and it was a bit of a challenge. But after a couple of attempts I got a sort-of-okay quality one--acceptable for laptop-size viewing, anyway.
He's working doing odd jobs so he can be free to go to court ("free" to go to court--sounds weird). He'll be making more than one appearance.
Things are on hold, atm. Waiting for her to heal.
