Chattykathy,
I'm just about out of patients for today, so forgive me for not being my most considerate self tonight. Under normal circumstances, I would prefer to keep this to a more private arena since I don't make a rule of airy my dirty laundry in public. However, you have chosen to have this out on the boards. While I don't agree with it, you have set the stage. I am going to try and be as polite as my mind will let me, but I'll admit, I'm still taking deep breaths and counting to 10 as I write this.
You have absolutely no right to talk about my son. The people on this board are not the idiots that you must think they are and to put "insert name here" wont fool them as such. I made no reference to you in my post. Nor did I say anything about the email being sent by someone who has a wish child. I have no interest in pointing fingers and certainly didn't point one at you. If people made an assumption that it was you, that is not my fault. If you felt it was pointed at you, then it's probably because YOU gave them a reason to make that connection. As my Grammy taught me, guilty conciouses worry the most. You appear to be extremely worried even though no one seems to have said anything about you.
(Let me say I'm sorry in advance Disboard family because I am about to be at my most ugly)
You have opened up this line of discussion so I am going to give you my full take on this. I encourage you to keep in mind that I have not once said an unkind thing to you. I have not posted on a public thread one unkind thing about you. You however have posted some silliness about all the messages you sent me. Why you think it's necessary I don't know. If you wish to share the things you say about yourself that is your business, but you've no right talk about my son. The way I feel about you right now, I don't even think you deserve to know his name.
If maw has agreed to grant your daughter a wish, I sincerely hope she has the time of her life. I wish you would remember that ALL wishes that can be granted are done so because people, like those on this board, have donated to wish orgs. It seems very greedy tome to expect more than what maw is offering to give you. I am also concerned that you would shop around to see who would give you the best deal on a wish. I know this is what you did with Wishing Well, regardless of what you want to post. The WW are very good people and have been miracle workers for us. I am very protective of them for that and am not at all happy that you called them to see if they would give you a better deal. You have absolutely no idea what I had to go through to get a wish granted for my son. I was told by several orgs. that they would not grant him a wish. One place because they didn't understand his condition and said all he had was a birth defect. One place because he cannot speak and couldn't thank them for the wish. It goes on and on. That you would have the nerve to shop around for the best deal on a wish is appalling to me. While I am so grateful that you have the luxury to do that since your daughter isn't as disabled as Nate, I am furious that you think you should deserve better than what all other families get. I wish maw could see just how ungrateful you are. How would they feel to know that you have zero appreciation for their generosity? At any rate, I have apologized to WW for leaving them vulnerable to this situation.
I do not know your daughter or anything about her condition. I've heard it is seizure related and I do know a lot about that. I think you should be holding your daughter and thanking God for how lucky you are. Be grateful for maw's generosity and stop trying to encourage these good people to donate to extend your family vacation. It's not right. I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and just cant for some reason. You never have spoken about how you want this trip to be memorable. Or how excited your daughter is, or how grateful you are for the kindness of the people on here. You have only complained about your cruise not being long enough and trying to figure out how to make it more convenient for everyone to donate to you. Well Kathy, most people go there whole lives with no cruise at all. I bet 4 days in paradise seems mighty fine to them.
You asked me to be your "tour guide" well then what I would tell you to do is take a step back and think about what you are going to do next. Or better yet pray about it. If your heart is in the right place, then God will lead you down the right path.
If you feel you have been unjustly accused of something, I can only say I am sorry you feel that way. I cannot be held responsible for what other say or think. Again though, I did not ever indicate you in my post. What I do have control over is how much time I waste on this nonsense...that time is just about up. You have caused me to be away from the ones I love for too long already and I've no intentions of giving you that power any more.
DO NOT PM ME, I will not be reading anything else from you. You have crossed a line of common courtesy and I wont play this game with you.
To everyone else on here, I am so sorry you are seeing me like this. All I can say is I know what I know. You all make comments about how strong I am, well most of the time I feel like a fake when you say that because I'm not strong. But I'll tell you what I will not stand for this foolishness any longer.
Mickey- I'm sorry if I disappoint you
