My Camino April 2014

[Gazer]

Hi my name is Gary and I am flying to Biarritz on 9th April and starting on the 10th from St jean. I have wanted to walk the camino for some years now but never got the chance. The film The Way inspired me a lot with Martin Sheen and the loss of his son. Then on 28th of July 2013 my life was nearly over for me as I lost my son of 20 years of age in a most tragic way. I have been in a bad place ever since but think this is the time to do it now. As like Martin Sheen in the way I will scatter some of my sons ashes across the camino. I have only just started doing some walks and I am feeling the aches and pains so hope i am going to be ok. Look forward to meeting anyone on the way.
Gary

Gary,
I hope the Camino brings you peace. I will be starting on 10 April as well.
Best wishes,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Gary, may you find peace on your Camino.
I'm not a seasoned pilgrim but if I may, I'd suggest you walk your own pace, listen to your body and be open to what you learn on your journey.
I'm a first timer so I'll definitely be walking my own pace, listening to my body when it cannot go further and embracing my journey of self-discovery.
Best wishes and Buen Camino.
