Such a Special Place


 

As you drive across the bridge onto Pensacola Beach, something special, almost subliminal occurs. Words cannot describe this experience, it's almost like a mild sensation of inner peace and relaxation.  This feeling is most noticeable when you cross the bridge going the other direction, leaving on your last day here as you begin to notice it's gone.  This past weekend I had the privilege of attending a “Celebration of Life” ceremony for a close beach friend who left this world much sooner than we’d have hoped.  I could not imagine a better, more peaceful, appropriate way to say goodbye and the special effect this beach has on us is what made this perfect. 

 

In the pics below, we are gathering at the end of the pier at Paradise to say goodbye and to throw flowers for her into the water.
