A Bittersweet Return... Winkler's TR ~ Many Pics! Our time is over!

[mrsksomeday]

Alicia, your trip is so close. I can't wait to see all the pictures of Isabelle in her Disney outfits.

It's great to be strong, but if at some point you need to let it out in WDW, just go to a bathroom and cry. Don't keep it all in, it is ok to let out the emotions. You don't have to be strong 24/7. As always I will have you and your family in my thoughts and will continue to pray for a good trip.

Yay for being so close to your vacation!!!!

I have to ask, who made the Alice in Wonderland outfit?

 

[MousekaMaddi]

cant wait to see pix and hear of all the fun!

I only read your first post and I could feel my eyes filling up when I read about Levi. I have two little ones of my own and it is unfathomable to me what I would do if something happened to either of them.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. Like you said, this trip will be bittersweet but I hope you have more sweet moments than not.

Single digits...YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

Aww that box is so cute and I love the pj's!!! That was so sweet of them!!

Awww that Cinderella dress turned out beautiful. Isabelle looks so darling in it!!! Awww I bet she is excited about the BBB!!!!

I say definitely wear something comfy....you know about a week ago I saw some shoes (pale blue) at TCP that would match just perfectly and they were on sale for like $4. They are like fake crocs only like a Mary Jane style...I know a lame explaination but hopefully you can imagine what I mean...hahahaha. Taylor has a pink pair and she loves them. Want me to look for ya???

Oh this brought me to tears Alicia. I wish Levi could be there with you too, I can only imagine all your pain. I am so sorry sweetie!!! I really do belive Levi will be there in spirit with you. He is in your HEART forever and that will never change. He will always be your sweet little boy. I hope when you see the things at Disney that Levi loved, it will bring a smile to your face as you remember those special times with him. I know the tears will be there too and I hope you remember that I am just a phone call away. I am here for you sweetie!!!!! I love ya!!!

Hey you! What are you up to today? I tried calling you earlier!

I have just stumbled upon your PTR's. I found them while visiting the disboutiquer thread. I went back and read your 1st PTR and when I read about your sweet Levi, my hear just sank. You just never know what each day holds. I love all of the outfits that your DD has been recieving. Sometimes the kindness of strangers can be an amazing thing. Such thoughtful people. In the picture above, I couldn't help but notice the stone in the background. What a beautiful saying it has on it. I hope that you have a much needed break when you return to WDW. Take lots of pics and savor every moment. We are going to be there in a little over 2 weeks, and I know I will think of your sweet little man when we walk down mainstreet and when we get to see Mickey. This story has touch me deeply, and I will continue to keep ya'll in my thoughts and prayer. Have a safe, great trip! Take care.

Me too!!!!!!!! Well, take the pictures, anyway! Either way. I'm excited!

So, Isabelle and I have been listening to Disney Mania 5 in the car. We can't get enough!

The song from Tarzan, though, 2 worlds, 1 family is getting to me. These lines, evrytime (I've probably listened to the CD 50+ times in 2 weeks)-

"No worlds describe a mother's tears,
no words can heal a broken heart..."

And listening to that song has made a great deal of sense. We are in 2 worlds now, Levi is in Heaven and we are here, but we are still 1 Family. And "still there's hope", someday we'll be together again.

My little thought for the day.....

Very true~ life here is short but heaven is for eternity and there are no tears in heaven

 

[heath-and-javens-mom]

aww, this gave me goosebumps! I love you Alicia! No words can express how sorry I am for your loss. That song would bring me to tears aswell.


BTW- I am heading to the mall today to get your crocs

 

[MouseTriper]

Hey you! What are you up to today? I tried calling you earlier!

Sorry I missed your call...I was running around doing errands I need to get done before my in-laws arrive on Wednesday. I will call you in a little bit!

Alicia, that song brings tears to my eyes too hun . I'm sorry I haven't been posting much here, I've been so so so busy getting the kids ready to go back to school, and me back to work.
What time do you guys think you'll be pulling in on Saturday? I can't wait to meet you all!!!

 

[thunderbird1]

Can't wait to give you one in person!

Yep, and now it's "You'll be in my heart." What is it with Tarzan Songs? Thanks for picking up my crocs!!!!!

Darned Tarzan songs! "You'll be in my heart" is the song my dd (then 6) made my dh put on the cd player in the car the day we brought ds home from the hospital. Ah, shoot. Between that and Levi, now I'm crying all over again.

Hi Alicia,
Gosh, I haven't been on the boards in forever it seems like and I just happened to stumble across your PTR today. I told Farrah this morning I am making every effort to get back online everyday...I miss everyone from the DIS! I can't believe your trip is so close. I really hope that you guys have an amazing time. I have never stopped thinking about your loss and I have kept you all in my thoughts. With my son being 21 months old now, it really makes me realize that life is so short and you should never take anything for granted.

I love all of the pictures you posted of your family, as well as all the outfits your DD received. People on here are amazing!!

Anyway, enough of me rambling...have a great trip.

 

[newtodis]

Hey Alicia!

Sorry I've really been slacking here on the DIS! While you're out having a great time in the World, I'll be here catching up on the PTR. Hopefully I'll be done by the time you come back and write the TR. I cannot wait to catch up and see all of the adorable outfits.

I also cannot wait to see tons of pictures from the trip!! So, so, so excited for you guys (maybe even more so than for our trip!)!! Lots of prayes, pixie dust and well wishes for your family and this very special trip!

 

[hlrababy]

Hey Alicia!!!! I hope you all have a safe and wonderful trip!!! I will be checking in with ya'll!!

 

[Dylan_&_Blake's_mom]

Hi Alicia, I came around during your last tr but was MIA from the Dis the last few months so just now saw that you were doing another TR and going back to Disney. Good for you, I'm sure it will be good for Isabelle and for all of you, even though I can only imagine how hard it will be also.You are truly one of the STRONGEST women I know. I ball like crazy nad have a hard time just getting through your TR's. My youngest son is now almost 16 months old so the pics of Levi are even more heart tugging now than they were when I first saw them. I am praying for a safe and happy trip for all of you. I can't wait to hear all about it and see the many pictures when you return! BTW, those outfits are all adorable, you are super talented ( first the sewing and now the paintings...they are BEAUTIFUL), and CONGRATULATIONS on the weight loss...you go girl!

My Children are going to be so sad!!!
