For today we received a lovely message from Rebecca Kober.
She wrote to us saying:
“Aruba to me……I was 19 years old when my parents and I spent 4 days on the wonderful island of Aruba in 1979. Not a long vacation but enough time for me to fall in love with beautiful Palm Beach. I never felt such soft powdery sand. I returned in 1987 with my husband, we rented a car and explored the island….such wonderful memories. Life continued and we were raising 2 sons. In 2017 we planned a trip to Aruba including our youngest son. Early in the year, I needed heart valve surgery and things went majorly wrong during surgery, I ended up on life support. I honestly remember making peace with dying but then I remembered our planned trip and how much I wanted to return to Aruba. This gave me the incentive to fight so I can say Aruba saved my life. We had another wonderful vacation after I recovered from surgery. We returned in 2022 and now we will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in June 2024. So much has changed since 1979
Photo attached is the Natural Bridge in 1979, so glad I was able to see it.”
Thank you for sending us this wonderful message sharing what Aruba means to you with us and our readers!
