"Double Dip Delight" Alternate Western 09/27/08

[Belle1997]

We just booked a cat 11 while on the 4 night disney wonder. What I find is that the double dip cruise must be very popluar as it is $180.00 more than the next week cruise we are taking with the regular western itinerary.

Please excuse me for not being so vocal the last week or so. Monday my dad passed away. It was somewhat unexpected yet somewhat a prayer answered. We found out he had cancer about a month prior they dr's told him 6months to 2yrs and we just thought we had more time.... but mom and I belive it was for the better. He had lost a lot of weight, he had be come weak, and couldnt sleep well. Food didnt taste good to him and we could tell he was in pain also. He would have never wanted for anyone to see him in a worse state, and we would have never wanted to see him suffer. I truly belive he is in a better place then the hell he was in here!

Im so lucky to have had him across the street from me and see him virtually every day. I am trying to find comfort in that and not have guilt for not seeing him the night before when I had gone over and mom said he was sleeping. I left to let him sleep since he hadnt been sleeping much. But a part of me aches wishing I had just gone in and blown him a kiss!

My mom has been very strong in all this, but she is a strong person (she would tell you otherwise) She has pushed me out of the house everynight to tell me to sleep in my bed with my husband and boys. Next week I think I will make it a mother daughter weekend and stay there, as this is when it will get harder since family and friends have left. I try and keep a happy face during the day for the boys and mom, but at night is when I have my "breakdowns" I cry and try not to wake up E. In time I know it will get easier, but it just doesnt seem real that he is gone now.

Thank you for allowing me to post a paragraph it just seemed to flow out and its always been so much easier for me to write something then say things face to face to people, so this was very therapudic for me! THANK YOU!

anyhow-- I have skimmed post at 3am when I couldnt sleep this week, and wanted to say welcome to newbies (I thought I remember reading that LOL)

Eric and Chris great job on the logo I LOVE IT! Ill probably try buying things soon in time for the xmas surprize for the boys! Ill let you know how it goes when I try!

Andrea,

I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. I know what you mean about it being easier to write than face people. Here's a group hug for ya

That's so funny that the price is going up so fast! We booked this cruise back in May because is was so much less than the other cruises!

Andrea... I'm very sorry for your loss.

Welcome, Tammy! I think Marsha (brady961) also just got off from your same cruise!

As pfishgirl mentioned, my signature block has a link to Post 577 that you should find helpful.

As you noticed, there is a lot to catch up on, but hopefully I can help! As the Cast Roll Call List keeper, let me suggest that you check out Post 577 (link in my signature) to see if there's anything else listed there that you would like to share about yourselves. There's a new website currently underdevelopment (the old one is found in a link under my signature), and the information you give me will get posted up there!

Post 577 is also a good "go-to" thread to see what kind of activites we've been talking about. If you have other suggestions, please share!!! For some of the activities that may make you say "Hmmm...what is that?!", I tried to add links to other posts that discuss it. Certainly ask if there's anything you want to know more about. This post also has info about locating our cruise logo so you can use it for door magnets, your siggy, or whatever you choose.

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Its been about 1.5 wks since I've spent any time to speak of on the boards. I had 20+ pages of posts to catch up on! At the rate we're going & the amount of time still to go before our cruise - I think we have a definite shot at getting that many. I wouldn't be surprised either to see this meet thread continuing well after Oct 2008.

 

[LadyShiva]

Hey, Hadley... Go finish your trip report! I wrote you a note on it, and you'd better react with a chuckle or I'll dredge up some iocaine powder. Or a bunny with sharp teeth.

Or some other dastardly thing... *thinking* Spanish Inquisition, maybe?

Please excuse me for not being so vocal the last week or so. Monday my dad passed away. It was somewhat unexpected yet somewhat a prayer answered. We found out he had cancer about a month prior they dr's told him 6months to 2yrs and we just thought we had more time.... but mom and I belive it was for the better.

He would have never wanted for anyone to see him in a worse state, and we would have never wanted to see him suffer. I truly belive he is in a better place then the hell he was in here!

Andrea, I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. Sounds like you were really close. Your memories will comfort you later. For now, lots of prayers and coming your way from Oregon.
