THE VACATION (“an extended period of leisure and recreation, especially one spent away from home or in traveling”) for my brother and me was booked in November 2024—a 12-day cruise to the Southern Caribbean—visiting the islands of St. Croix, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, Dominica, and St. Kitts. We invited our sister and her husband to join us. We had a wonderful time together. The “vacation” was good therapy for me following my daughter Rachel’s 3-month ordeal in the hospital and rehab. Rachel returned home the day before we left for the cruise.
One of the lecturers onboard the ship was Tom Vassos, who unveiled the infinite cosmos in which we are but a grain of sand. His talks reminded me of the hymn: “How big is God, how big and wide His vast domain. To try to tell, these lips can only start. He’s big enough to rule His mighty universe, yet small enough to live within my heart.”
