Oh BIG congrats for booking the dessert party chell! I'm so happy for you.

Thank you!

Did I tell you that a lady from work is heading to WDW tomorrow? Her son got to go to the Pop Warner super bowl. She wasn't able to work it out do go down all week, but worked it out to go tomorrow. She at least gets to go a few days. I was thinking that she was going to be there with you. This is her first trip. Her husband & son have said that the weather has been nice. They were swimming Tuesday. The temp was in the mid 80's. I hope it stays nice and perfect for you!!!

Angelrose, just want to pop in and hope I'm not too late to send you big {{hugs}} for a magical trip with your family! You're so blessed to be making these special memories with your little DGS Jesse to carry in your heart forever. I think you will find Disney even more special when seen through the eyes of a child. Like has been said, of course there's bound to be some emotional times, however your dear Ron will be with you in spirit as he surround you with love and smiles from above . Godspeed and hope you experience a magical trip and great weather.

I love all your C'mas decorations and your love for family shines through in those beautiful photos!

Happy, Happy TRIP Angelrose!!! So excited for your magical visit to the WORLD!!!!

Sure, it will be bittersweet at times.... that is to be expected. But Jesse's eyes will be the brightest lights there! Enjoy all that you can... you know that is what Ron would want. Enjoy the friendships the two of you created together - and continue to do the things you loved to do most.

I look forward to your posts, pictures and trip report when you return!!

Have a WONDERFUL time... you will be missed around here... but we know you will be enjoying your time with your family and making many memories.

Safe travels and great weather wishes!!!

Good evening, my friends!

Where is Angelrose this evening? I know she was being picked up at 5, then her flight is in the morning, but for the life of me cannot remember why and where she was going this evening. Wherever, hope she gets a good night's sleep to be ready for her big adventure tomorrow.

Angelrose, if you check in - we love you and wish for you a wonderful and magical visit with Jesse!

Hope everyone had a good day! chell, I always feel so bad when I read of your difficult days. So hope today was better.

All day long I've thought about Angelrose heading off to WDW and Christine I've been thinking of you and praying for you.

Christine thank you for the kind words and for thinking of me. Right now I'm just trying to make it through each day. Stress only makes my body feel worse so I've been trying not to stress over my work situation. But that isn't easy. ...

Sorry I went on so long there. And I know I should talk about it in a public place but I'm not saying anything bad about anyone. So...

I hope the weather is perfect for Angelrose!!!

Three weeks from today we will be there!!!

 

[Angelrose]

Hi girls. Christine, Chuck picked up my luggage yesterday around 5. They have left today around 5 too. I am still here. I printed out my boarding pass at noon. Great, they have changed the boarding time to 10:30am. EEEEEEEK My car isn't picking me up until 9:30. I will have to make a panic call to him tomorrow at 8 when he opens and hope he can get here sooner. I hate when they change times like that. Oh well, I'm sure everything will work out.

Thank you all for the good wishes. I know I will have a great time with the kids. Tomorrow this time, we will be finished with our dinner at Kona and probably heading right back to the hotel room. I'm sure the kids will be exhausted after that long drive. I know I probably won't be able to sleep that much tonight so I will probably be ready for bed too.

Girls, your friendship means so much to me. I don't know how I would have gotten through this without your support and love.

I'll be home on the 21st. I will probably just come on to say HI. Don't know if I will be in any shape to chat. But I may be. See you then!

 

[chell]

Angelrose! Hey! I didn't think you would be online tonight for some reason. We all got confused and thought you were heading out somewhere today. At least we were confused together.

I'm so excited for you and your trip. You have such a wonderful family and I'm glad that you get to take this trip with them. As I said yesterday, I'm praying for you to have stress-free traveling and a very wonderful trip. I hope that you don't have sad moments but very happy times remembering Ron and your trips to the World. I know he will be with you every single step of the way.

I know I can speak for everyone when I say this, we are so blessed to have you in our lives and to have your friendship. You are one special Lady and a great friend. You bring happiness and joy to our lives daily. We sure are going to miss you while you are off running around the parks with Jesse.

 

[Angelrose]

Thank you so much Michelle. I think we are blessed to have found each other. I hope you start to feel better. I'll be thinking of you all when I watch Wishes.

Goodnight all.

 

[chell]

Yes, we are all blessed to have found one another. You are welcome and thank you.

Hugs and love to you!!!

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Oh, Angelrose and chell - I shut down early last night and didn't see your posts - I know Angelrose is enjoying Disney right now, but when she reads this just wanted to say Michelle, you said it perfectly:

I know I can speak for everyone when I say this, we are so blessed to have you in our lives and to have your friendship. You are one special Lady and a great friend. You bring happiness and joy to our lives daily. We sure are going to miss you while you are off running around the parks with Jesse.

Thank you, chell - that is exactly how I feel as well.

I am so sorry to read about your job. I don't know how you stand it.....sounds depressing and heart wrenching. Wish I had words to comfort, but know I will hold you in my prayer each day and send gentle hugs. Please know you can vent anytime to me - pm or email too.

 

[minnie56]

Firstly I am sure Angelrose is having a lovely time!!! How could anyone not? It will be a perfect escape for her and her family at this time of year when I know it can be so hard to have enthusiasm when your heart is lonely..

Chell, you did indeed say exactly how we feel in most eloquent words. Thank you for that. I always say we never know where we will meet the folks that change our life for the better. They are everywhere and some just touch your heart and soul.

I am sorry that your job isn't a happy place for you...there must be nothing worse. People dynamics can be a tough hurdle to work with ...we all need harmony in our life and especially our workplace. Are there no other options for you? Another department? I can't say I am sure I know what you do?

I have been so busy and have not even come close to completing my Christmas shopping! I am filled with dread that I must take on the holiday crowds! Ugh...not how we should feel about Christmas is it?

Well, I better get doing something today though it will NOT be a Mall!
Maybe Monday I might tackle that!

Have a lovely weekend ladies....

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Minnie, not having even half of shopping done would be overwhelming for sure! I enjoy Christmas/Holiday shopping if I can go to boutiques or a Mall when it opens Mon-Wed when empty and pleasant. Sounds like you think the same.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

 

[minnie56]

YES-that would be ideal! SO had I started sooner???:rolleyes

I much prefer outdoor shops..I hate how hot the Malls are!

Enjoy yor day!

 

[chell]

Thank you both for the kind words & support. It really is great to have made such great friends with you two as well. It is sad how we all came together but I'm glad we have all connected.

Every day I think about Angelrose & what she must be doing. I also have to say a prayer for her. I know she must be having sad moments. But I hope they all turn to smiles and she remembers the good times and is making many new happy memories with Jesse.

Sadly there isn't a lot I can do about my job right now. The unemployment rate right here is so high so jobs are very difficult to find. There aren't any open jobs within the company to transfer to either. All I can do is wait & pray. I keep my headphones in a lot and try to just concentrate on what I need to do.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! I'm not doing a thing. It is cold so I'm staying inside with my blanket!!! I got up late, then had breakfast. Several hours later I had lunch. A little bit later I took a nap. I need to get on the treadmill so my feet will be ready for Disney but I just haven't made it in there.

This morning while I was sleeping in Larry made me some Chex Muddy Buddy stuff. I've been wanting to make it since I've wanted something sweet to snack on that is safe for me. He decided to go ahead and do it for me.

OMG! That stuff is GOOD!!! I'd never had it before. I have seen it but never had it. YUM!!! I had some earlier and now I'm sitting here thinking about going to get more. I can't. When I told him this he was telling me how good it was for me. He said the chocolate is semi-sweet so it has antioxidants it in. The peanut butter is good for me - can't remember why. And now I can't remember what else he said about it all being good for me because I was laughing at him. He did say there was no cholesterol in it.

I just stumbled across this thread tonight and I read it all. I know Angelrose is at WDW right now, hopefully having a great time with Chuck, Karen and the adorable Jesse but I felt compelled to post anyway. I hope Angelrose has a great trip, and that she finds some peace and joy this holiday season, even though it will be difficult. Her story really touched me.

We had a house fire in July of this year, and for 3 long months liveed with my Mom,Dad, Sister and nephew while we found another house. I've been feeling a little sorry for myself the last ocuple of weeks becasue money's tight, DH's job is precarious, I'm out of work AND school, and just generally been in a funk.

But now, after all I've read tonight, I feel so ashamed of myself. I have my health, my 2 adorable DD's and a wonderful DH. We are safe, have a roof over our heads, food in our kitchen and most importantly, we have EACH OTHER!

I'm going to log out now, get in bed with my loudly snoring DH , wake him up and tell him how much I love him and how glad I am that he's here with me.

God Bless you, Angelrose and all of her friends who have been so kind and encouraging. to you all.

 

[chell]

s to you ksumn1! You shouldn't feel ashamed. You, just like the rest of us, are only human and feel down from time to time. It only makes us appreciate things even more when our eyes are opened - just like yours were tonight. We all have those moments. Don't feel bad about it. I hope you will stick around and join our chatting. You really do have every right to be in a funk. I hope you get a special blessing that really cheers you up and a sign that everything is going to be okay soon.

Angelrose is such a special Lady who has blessed us so much. Her thread started out as her needing prayers and support but has turned into so much more. She has touched our hearts so much and has worked her way so deeply into our souls. She teaches us so much about being a true classy Lady. She teaches us what it is like to be a strong woman. She teaches is how to be a wonderful wife, mother & grandmother. When I grow up I want to be Angelrose!

Angelrose is the type of role model and superhero kids need to see more of today!!! Her Ron was as well!!! Thankfully she shares her stories of him and of their love so that he will live on and their lives improve the lives of others.
