Getting closer every day! I can't wait.

By the way, just wanted to say thanks for heading up the brunch stuff Andy (and Sarah). You are true givers!

I was wondering if my fellow San Juan Sojourners could keep my family in your thoughts and prayers once again. We arrived home from my niece's wedding this evening, only to find out that my 44 year old brother had committed suicide overnight. His body was discovered at 1pm this afternoon. Tommy left behind a 15 year old daughter. This news came as quite a shock to me, as you can imagine. I'm still sitting here in disbelief.

My DD is taking this very hard, especially since just losing another uncle six weeks ago to cancer. Angelina's closet friend Trish just came over to spend the night with Angelina to help her cope with this loss.

Andy -

So sad to hear the awful news; Shelby and I send our condolences. You will definitely be in our prayers tonight.

What a terrible shock. My deepest sympathy. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Posted on another thread, Andy. Just wanted to restate here how sorry I am to hear of another tragedy in your lives. Prayers to you, Hazel and Angelina.

 

[Verandah Man]

Thanks everyone, we will get through this. We have decided to keep Angelina home from school this morning, I even canceled my PT session for today, neither one of us got very much sleep last night.

We surely do appreciate everyone's concern and support!!!

I am a little late posting here but wanted to let Andy and family know that you are all in our prayers.

Shygirl -

Good of you to join us on our little thread! We are friendly, albeit busy souls! And a fellow west-coaster to boot.

Andy -

How are you holding up over there? Still in Shelby's and my prayers.

Not real well my friend, I've been having a very hard time sleeping the past few nights. I can't dreaming that I am looking for Tommy, in tonight's dream, I was even going around putting up posters with Tommy's photo on them, asking if anyone sees this person to contact me. My step-mother decided not to have a funeral for Tommy, so maybe in my mind, I don't want to believe that he is really gone, just lost someplace.

I surely do appreciate everyone's prayers and concern, I know that is what is helping me get through this.

Welcome Shygirl! Glad to have you aboard.

Andy, sorry for your pain as you continue to work through your grief. You, Hazel, and Angelina continue to remain in our prayers.

 

[denise5374]

Shygirl, welcome to our group! Look forward to meeting you onboard!

Andy, Sorry you are still suffering. I have a friend whose brother did the same thing, it took him a long time to deal with it completely. Don't expect too much of yourself, it is a lot to deal with. Maybe once the burial is over, the dreams will stop since their will be that bit of clusure. I will keep praying for you.

Mike, I wanted to tell you we changed from AOL for Brittany so she hasn't been IMing Krsiten and "forgot" that she can use regular email. So pass that on the Kristen please, I dont want her to think that Brittany just blew her off.

Down to 85 DAYS!!!!

 

[Shygirl]

Thanks for the welcome. I feel like I've made alot of new friends. I am greatful for this forum to meet new people. I forgot to tell you my DH is Anvil. I have been on two cruise's before a 7 day and 3 day both on carnival. I picked Disney for my son who is 7. He is so excited. We talk about it everyday.

Verhanda Man,
I feel like I know you already. I have read your web site. I am glad that we will be on the same cruise. Can't wait to meet you in person. What is the cost of the t-shirts, i would love to get one for all of us.

 

[denise5374]

Shygirl,

My son is also 7 (turns 8 8/29). I am sure they will be in the Lab together.

Hi Linda,

I'm hoping we here something beofre the 60 day out mark about San Juan excursions. I'd like to be able to have a few days to look them over before booking anything.

Incase you didn't get my e-mail, Hazel gave your t-shirts and transfer to your brother on Wednesday night at church.
