feeling so sad

[comingtodisney]

my mum has just moved to turkey this morning and i have spent all day crying, the thing is i will not be able to see her untill next year.. all of a sudden i have lost that disney feeling. i have spent every christmas of all of my 37 years with my mum. i think this will be our one and only time to wdw as in future i will want to go and see my mum as often as i can. trying to get back that happy feeling for this holiday for the sake of my family, just finding it hard.

I feel for you. I'm in my 40's and can't imagine not spending Christmas day with my parents and all my brothers and sister and their familys. We have 19 around the dinner table!

You will have to convince your mum to meet you in DLRP so you can still get your fix of both Mum & Disney!

Aww I am sorry, I can't imagine how you must be feeling right now. Big hugs to you.

I can empathise

I moved from the US to the UK in 1996 when I was only 23. I left behind all my friends and family and have not been able to spend Christmas with them since.

But in many ways I feel it improved my relationship with my parents - I certainly appreciate them more now! And the distance certainly hasn't deteriorated our relationship.

One of the reasons I love WDW so much is that my partner and I go the same time as my parents. So it's all my favourite people in my favourite place!

Hope you start feeling better soon and get to see your mom again ASAP!

I know just how you feel, my mum was my best friend but she ran off with a complete *horrible swear word for a man beginning with 'W'* and has changed a lot. She moved to Switzerland to be with him last November and its not got much easier. Christmas hasn't been the same for two years since my parents broke up and although i'm an adult at 21, i still don't feel 'grown-up'. I got really upset with her the other day and it really made me get out of the spirit of our holiday, we fly out on Monday morning so i need to speak to her before we go to try and clear the air.

Try and communicate with her as much as possible whether its via email or phone. Flights are getting cheaper all the time and i'm sure you'll be able to find some great deals at less busy times of the year. Even if you can't always afford it, i've found that even looking around at the possibility of going to see her helps. Start planning what you'll do when you can get together and think of all of the new places she can show you that she's discovered. Its a very difficult time, but you both just have to focus on why she's out there and try to be happy for her.

maybe you could meet your mum in WDW?

that would be lots of fun...

i live on the opposite side of the ocean from all of my family (and have for the past 18 years)..

it is difficult...especially when someone is sick....that's even worse than not being with them on holidays...

feeling a little better today, spoke to my mum last night and like she said when we go over we will be spending 24/7 together, and dh has promised soon as we come back from wdw we can book the flights for next year. he also said we may be able to go over for christmas 2009. i lost my dad 2 years ago due to a long illness, and i am just coming to terms with that. felt like i was losing my mum too. but does not feel like that after i spoke to her, dh also has bought me a different sim card will be cheaper to call and text. think he was little afraid of the phone bill.

thanks to all of you

this is a big dream of my mums and her husband.
