My little bit of paradise in Florida!

by Alice G
My husband I and moved to Florida almost 4 years ago. 2 years ago this month, John was killed on his way to work by an off duty cop. It was the cops fault. Since then I have done what he and I set out to do when we got down here and that was to make a place for us to retire in and enjoy all our family, friends and especially our grandchildren. Now Its me and the cat and I have pledged to keep up with this until it becomes too much. But the love I have still for my husband and my home.I don't see that happening for a very long time. Its truly a labor of love and I enjoy the results so much.

    In the midst of a beautiful article, why did you feel it necessary to write that about a policeman?
