 My family and I are safely back on dry land. No one plunged overboard, the ship didn't sink, motion sickness was minimal for the group and we were all able to enjoy our adventure. There were even chuckles at the Dasher doing her best Kate Winslet imitation when one of the ship's captains led us to a secret spot at the very front of the boat.
The purpose of our vacation was to escape a week of stressful reminders of the details of Kitty's death. On the past three anniversaries, we received cards and phone calls and saw news stories about the dangers of driving on ice-covered lakes that mentioned - and even flashed pictures - of our little Kitty Rose. This year, Mandy and son-in-law wanted to remember their child privately, away from the snow, ice, telephone, social media and TV.

I am about to embark on a journey and haven't yet decided whether I'm brave, crazy, adventurous, accommodating or just plain stupid. Most likely it's a combination of all the aforementioned. I am going on a cruise ... on the fourth anniversary week of Kitty's drowning.
