CLOSED - FRIDGE IS LOST *FREE ALL STAR Saved a Sinking FRIDGE & Coffee Pot Swap!!!

[KimRaye]

Dad's passing was unexpected but yet expected...he "died" 3 years ago and was brought back, given a pacemaker and a defibrulator and went back to work full time with the state of Oregon at 80 years of age.

Next month he would have been 83 so we are so fortunate to have had these past 3 years with him. Being a single mom, he was the rock in my life and loved my boys more than life itself. This is the 1st loss that the boys and I have ever had to deal with and it's overwhelming. I hurt so badly for them and don't know how to help them thru this. A piece of my heart died last night.

As I look outside today I know that he is with me because the sun is shining for the 1st time in 2 weeks. He died in my mom's arms in the pouring down rain, thunder and ligthning last night and today the birds are chirping and the sun is glowing brighter than ever before.

He will be greatly missed.

This is so sad and yet so sincerely and beautifully written, I cried. God Bless you all! There's another angel in heaven now. Deepest sympathies!

I'ts me again. I guess I just feel at home on the DIS! I'm doing well today. Have got to get back on the packing wagon cause' this house ain't gonna pack itself! Had I known I would lose Dad, I never would have moved at this time. Double overwhelming! We have been in this house for 14 years...that's a lot of stuff to sort and pack!!! To add to the challenge, I am on a 15 lb weight restriction for lifting and my oldest son has a bad shoulder that will be operated on December 23. We are quite the gimpy pair!! I am ready to put 2009 behind me!

Let's keep this thread on page #1 so we can get 2010 filled up...especially January and February!

From your ticker it looks like you have a fun trip coming up to look forward to soon. Just keep plugging along minute to minute and day by day. One step at a time. I wish I were closer and could help you out. Hopefully you have some friends and family that are there for you. I'm trying to talk myself into going through all of our Christmas decoration boxes and sorting those out and that is a big job for me. I can't imagine sorting the whole house....good luck and take time for yourself too.

Gina, I will do what I can to keep it on page one. I too wish I was close enough to help but I don't know how much I could do either. We keep trying to go through all our stuff but it just seems to keep getting away from us. Do take care and remember that you can't take care of anyone else unless you care for yourself first.

You should have enough post now if you want to try to PM our fearless leader now. It is best to try as the request is less likely to get lost. Welcome to the DIS

Gina I am so sorry for your loss. Plus moving on to of that is a very stressful time. Hang in there.


Just wanted to let everyone know the fridge is safe and running fine right now.

Well I am on an iPhone and it is hard to type, I will talk to ya all later.

OK, my trip is coming up quick. I've done a bunch of swaps but have only ever done hand offs, never gotten nor returned a fridge to storage. This time it seems I will be getting the fridge from storage and returning it there. What is the scoop? I know how to pack it & how to get a luggage cart (done this lots of times) but what do I need to label the fridge with and how will it be labelled when I arrive?

Thanks!

We just got back from our WDW trip and I wanted to let everyone know that our little fridge is doing great! We dropped it off yesterday for a quick overnight stay with bell services. There is still plenty of supplies left too.

Thanks...that is great news. The stroller I was in on for a swap has gone missing. : ( So I'm glad the fridge is still alive and well.

I just heard from Estherhead and all is well with the fridge.

We really need to fill January 16-24 and February 1-25!!! HELP!! It would be a shame for this swap to come to an end because we can't find any swappers in the new year.
