Owning parks brings a lot of challenges. Over the years I have posted about problems with slobs, with carelessness,with the self important, with crazy people and on and on. There is one big issue I have never mentioned, and it is an issue that is actually causing me to think about selling out.
Many great friends we have made over the past decade are dying or becoming so imfirm they can no longer travel. It is becoming all too often that I pick up the phone and get the sad news that a friend will no longer be visiting.
With the normal problems in the parks, I can rant, rave, spew venom and get over it. This is different. When a long time guest has taken their final trip to the park, I feel sad whenever I pass what was "their" site. Sometimes I just hate this business.
Sadly it is the way of the world. People are born, then they die. It's how you live inbetween that makes it worth it. You have made great friends, You have been a plus in their life. Enjoy the memories , Say a prayer for their families, and go on.
As for getting old not being good. No it's not. But it is better than the alternative.
