...because HALF of the flowers for my Dad's funeral were from the DIS!
Everything went so beautifully. Again my family asked "Do you WORK for Disney?" The displays of flowers were so breathtaking, mostly because they came from people who CARED.
I will never forget this.
Today I'm home with a sick child, MEASLES, which is good because he NEEDS to stay home. He didn't want to miss school even though he lost his Granddad, because he knew his Granddad wanted him to get good grades.
On Saturday, the day of the wake, I broke down. I didn't want to go, I didn't want to see him, I just couldn't do it.
My son, 10 years old, hugged me and told me "Mom, you can be PITIFUL or POWERFUL, but you can't be both"...
I chose to be powerful.
I cannot thank all of you enough for getting me through this. The flowers, the PMs, the emails, the posts, the calls, the cards, the total wonderfulness that is the DIS... I wish I could just HUG you all.
My Mom and Dad are together again. And after 61 years of wedded bliss, that is RIGHT.
God bless you all,
Robinrs
