Blue Ridge

".....I'm just not sure there are words to describe this magical place. From the moment you open the door, there is such a strong feeling of love, kindness, laughter and joy from all the souls that came before us, inside. This is a place where all emotions come together, a place where my "being" felt peace. The cabin itself has beautiful well thought out spaces for families and friends combined. But, it was perfect for just the two of us alone. Yes, I could go on and tell you all the physical aspects of this somewhat remote cabin, nestled deep in the woods.....but I want to tell you what it did to me/us on the inside. You see, I have had some very sad losses in my life, especially recently. My son died at the young age of 27 yrs. old. My father, then my mother died just recently within a month and a half of each other. Then, while on this vacation I learned that MY dog, my beautiful doberman died on the second day of this trip, back at home. Xena, my dog just turned 5 yrs old. But even more than that, I needed to know....to feel if my husband of almost 25 years still loves and wants me. As I would look around this special place called a "cabin", I realized it was here just waiting for US. It is want we needed most. To get away from the reality of our situation and just bask in the solitude and loving feeling this cabin so happily provides. The biblical references tucked in the smallest of places inside, made it seem as if I was resting in the cradle of Gods arms. Rest is what I felt. Reality is what I need to face now and because of this cabin I feel the strength to face whatever will come. I still don't know the outcome of what will happen to my husband and our marriage, but, I do know that whatever happens- it will be ok. And once again, I am stronger because of it. Thank you"
