This place has SUCH sentimental meaning to my family and I
My father adores the beach. It is nothing for him to visit Gulf Shores & Orange Beach several times a year. He booked this exact unit from August 12-18, 2023. My 2 sisters & I, along with our spouses & children, spent great quality fun family time in this unit. We all had plenty of space & enjoyed our own bathrooms & loved to sit out on the balcony early AMs & late PMs (even got videos of sharks). The 19th floor makes amazing views of marine life down the shore. On the 18th we said our goodbyes & all looked forward to next year's beach trip together again (per usual).
Unfortunately, that was the last time I ever saw my daddy alive. Right there in that beautiful condo we shared so many great memories in. Thriving & full of so much life. Life that could last lifetimes. Life most of us surpass. He passed exactly 2 weeks later on September 1, 2023 at only 58 years old. He was venting a natural gas pipe at work (TVA) when it folded under pressure causing a fatal brain injury.
Life is fleeting & incalculable. Enjoy your time with your loved ones. Be grateful, always. Things can always be worse. My sisters & our children had a beautiful memorable beach trip this year (July 2024). We all just had an aching sensation that we were missing a major part of our regular family tradition. In an odd way this helped me appreciate the trip more & time I had with family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful condo & letting it serve as such a massive core memory. We love & miss you daddy
