Hello again to my dear, dear friends. I can not begin to tell you how much you all have meant to me. Mike has kept me informed of all the nice comments and words of support from everyone. Shirley called me last week and shared all the love from all of you. You have definately touched my heart. I just felt moved today to tell you all how very special you all are to me.

This has been the most difficult 5 weeks in my life. It still seems so unreal most of the time. My personal world is spinning out of control and I am trying very hard to get back in sync with the rest of the world. I did start back to the banquet serving job last weekend because I was going crazy sitting in the house. I tried to restart my daycare business, but it is simply too painful right now.

We still haven't decided whether or not to cancel the Aug. repo cruise. We both really wanted to do that trip, but our feelings have changed, plus we'd be sailing on the first anniversary of the tragedy. We will be discussing this with our daughters and we will make our decision later.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the love and support. You are all very special people.

Lynda

It is nice to hear from you again! I understand your mixed feelings about sailing with us in August. Your family is still in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you ALL peace!

Lynda,

It was so nice to read your post. I can not fathom your pain, but I know your faith has been there for you. I know that a lot of us, if not all of us, will understand if you feel it is too painfull to cruise next year. But don't make your decision yet. You have a lot of time before you would need to decide for sure, and only you and Mike will know how you feel as it gets closer.

I think of you and your family a lot. I hope that knowing your babies are in heaven brings some relief.



kmiles - woo hoo!!!!

 

[mississaugamom]

Lynda - Thank you for posting here. I cannot begin to imagine what your lives are like right now, but know that you and your whole family are still in my thoughts and daily prayers.

I agree with Marsha about decisions, though. I could totally understand wanting to cancel, but take the time to discuss this with your family closer to the time. You know we would love to have you there with us.

Please keep in touch when you can.

Hugs!
Arlene

LYNDA: So nice to see you post & receive your card. Still think about you & your family all the time.

RENEE: Have a great trip to Florida. Tell Mickey Mouse I said "Hello" & I'll see him October 21st!

I had a busy morning - walk dog, take Aunt for CAT scan & visit Mom in rehab. I am part of that "sandwich" generation.


Our weather is really dreary - overcast & drizzling. Have a good night. Toodles JEANNE

Hello Lynda,

It is so nice to hear from you. I have been thinking of you lots. I am lost for words how to ease your pain and i know that it is very hard on you and Mike. Remember, the Lord above knows your pain and we don't always have the answer to why life work the way it works.
I fully understand you are weighing your option to go on the cruise. Only you and Mike together would know if it would be the best thing to go or not to go. But with time, it will get easier. You have no pressure right now to make a decision.

If there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

Love and hugs!!
Melinda

Lynda,

So good to hear from you!! You have been in a lot of people's thoughts and prayers daily!! I know it must be hard to even think about a cruise now, especially with the dates it will cover next year. This is very selfish of me, but please wait on any decision. I know I would consider it an honor to have the pleasure of meeting the two of you. In your deepest hour of dispair, you have both shown what fine people you are! May God give you peace!

Hi Lynda and Mike:

Great to see/hear from you.
To reiterate Bob's thoughts please take your time re deciding about the cruise. You have so many friends on here and if you can wait awhile. Whatever you decide we will understand.

DW and I talk about you guys almost daily. You are in our thoughts and may you find some peace from this terrible nightmare.

Hi Lynda and Mike!

Like everyone else I'm glad to see you here - I know it must be very difficult to come back. We've all missed you a lot, and not a day goes by that I don't think about you guys. I hope time can heal some of your terrible grief.

Lynda: So glad to read your post. We still think about you and your family. Don't worry about the cruise right now. You have plenty of time to decide.

Piglett33 and Sarah's mom: Enjoy your antigua cruise. Looking forward to hearing about it.

Piglett33 and Sarah's mom, have a great time on your cruise and take lots of pictures and notes so we can hear all about it.

Lynda,

You and your family continue to be in our thoughts. Though we've never met I read your infamous water park story and when I see your user name I smile because I think of your strong spirit and great sense of humor. I am looking forward to meeting you but understand if you decide not to sail with us.

Peace be with you and yours.

 

[Sarah'sMomfrom PA]

Lynda and Mike...so nice to see you posting..I can't imagine what you have been going through these past few weeks...so much tragedy for one family. How is your son in law doing? Prayers continue to be sent your way.

We found out that our Antigua cruise will not be going to CC...they are taking us to Nassau instead....yuck!! Oh well, at least the other two ports didn't have any damage. Have all of my books ready for my verrandah. We are leaving for Sanford tomorrow morning (Southeast airlines) and will spend the night in Orlando. Heading to the port on Saturday with piglett33 and several other friends of ours. Guess I better start packing!!
Have a great week with lots of sunshine!! Mary Jo

Lynda and Mike, so glad to see you back. I know this has been a very difficult time for you two, I can't even imagine, but we're here for you. I know right after the tragedy occurred I thought about the PC cruise and knew it would be a difficult decision for you because of the timing of it all. Know that if you decide to go or not, we will all be honoring your family on August 21, 2005.

Mary Jo, I totally agree with you. I've been bumming since I found out we're going to Nassau instead of CC. Maybe they'll change their minds????? See you onboard!

Need to bump us back up to the top of the list where we belong.
Only 63 days until we leave for WDW and the Christmas experience. Getting slightly excited. Actually very excited.
Finally a lovely day here. Sunshine a fairly cool day. And no storms, no hurricanes and no earthquakes. Couldn't ask for better.
