DH's ONLY brother died in January 2001. Totally unexpected, massive heart attack, age 50yo. DH was devastated. DH was working in NYC at the WTC. Sept 2001 DH loses close close employee/friends (engineers) on 9/11. DH is devastated. We are now in October and he is beside himself with grief, reliving the death of his bro and now 9/11.
DH is just so sad.
I decide
WE ARE GOING TO WDW. I knew how magical the WORLD was and I knew how much DH loves the WORLD and I just needed my DH back, if not for me but for our two DS'.
I called the WL and booked rooms and called the airlines booked flights for Christmas week (one DS in h.s. and one in college, only time we could go).
So we are set. We are going to WDW.
November 2001, DH's father dies the Monday after Thanksgiving. FIL has been ill but he was doing so well. As a matter of fact, that Monday as MIL was packing up his belongings (as he was given the
to go home)...FIL died.
OMG!!
YES, it was arriving and walking into the MAGIC KINGDOM that finally finally put a smile back on my DH's face...omg...I was so elated but not for me more for our DS' and especially for DH!!
ETA: At FIL's funeral in Nov., absolutely everyone said to my MIL.... thank God, K's DH got out of the WTC on 9/11 or all three of MIL's men (2 DS' and DH) would have died in 2001.
