Hiya's Well I had posted a rough draft of what i wrote earlier, This is what one of my final drafts looks like, this is stage 2 drafting, but in case I get overrun with other things this will be close to considered near finished. I always take my poems and set them to photo back drops of some sort. I guess I do so for those who do not quite like poetry the visual gives an alternative to the art

You can always come to So Cal in February. May not be as warm as Florida, but much warmer than Maine.

SO sorry that your family has been through so much. I completely understand what it is to know that something is wrong with your child and have Drs. not believe you. Fortunately for you and for my son, it wasn't an instant death sentence, but quite nearly.

So, glad that your family is getting this opportunity!

Aww Tooo cute ! kids said to send hugs and kisses back and GREAT BIG HUGS

LOL i won;t forget to pack hehe, still waiting till last minute hahaha

This is what I have on tap for this week.

Today I want to finish finalizing house up, make sure things are put away that I don't want left out. I have a fear that my a partic person in my family could show up and take our stuff, But to counteract that fear I have pretty well every neighbor on the look out and they know whom to look for LOL so all set there. I have 1 neighbor coming in the mornings to feed the cats (my daughters boyfriend) he will also keep an eye on subpump and vacume the floors for us. I have an OCD thing with floors being vacced so i ad to set that up to be done so it will stay off mind lol It's cause of kates Asthma owning cats n dogs with a severe asthmatic is a tough job, all rooms have to be vacced daily otherwise air quality drops. In the evenings I have another neighbor coming over and will spend some time with cats and will make sure food/water dishes are set for evenings and of course cat box. This afternoon I have to take James up to the hospital because his last set of blood work did not work, it all cooagulated? think thats what they said on phone.

Tomorrow I will do the packing itself double/triple my to do lists, make sure kids have thier homework packets all set to go.

Wednesday we will do a final check on packing !! and Thursday we will head out LOL it almost sounds like we will be having a show before we leave lol a few of my neighbors plan on coming out 6 of'm my daughters best friend also will be coming to see her off and of course my Mum in law is coming because she will be picking Benjamin up (our puppy/other kiddo)


SO overall I think all will be well

3 days till we leave 4 till wishflight !!!!!!!!! sooo exciting

I can't believe tomorrow starts your adventure. I'm going to miss you guys. You will have a Magical Trip!!!

Nearly Trip Time - Adventure Much Needed

So this will be my last post as a PTR. It's been so much fun being part of this. but next! TR

Today more then any other day I am so glad the trip is tomorrow. Might sound selfish, wrong, I dunno but it's been a very rough day so far and I am grateful for the mental diversion of having the trip.

I got a call at 5 this morning. early morning calls in my house is the same thing as a middle of the night call and as soon as the phone rang I knew. My Bumpa passed away a half hour before hand. 4:30 this morning he went on his trip may he rest in peace and be in gods arms. He gave a good fight, real good fight and I have learned alot from him because of that. He was diagnosed with non hodgkins lymphoma several years ago, He's been fighting ever since.

He told me 3 Christmas' ago that he fights so hard because he wanted to try and make sure he kept his promise to never leave my Nana alone. He kept that promise. We had just moved them into my uncles house. So in all rights i beleive it gave him the freedom and courage to relax and go see his maker. I will be forever grateful for that too. He showed me something about true love. He was READY years ago. Tired worn out but just did not complain about treatments etc. He chose to fight so hard not because of himself, but for another and so selflessly went through all those treatments to make sure she would be ok.

OK when we found out 100% James was in fact being granted a trip and we had the dates set in stone him and I talked. He told me that he would not be around when James goes on his trip, but that if indeed he was and by chance he passed away while we were on the trip or about to go on the trip not to miss out on it. He made me promise I would continue on with the trip for James. He called James his namesake. You see, James is Named after my Father In Law (DAD) I always just call him Dad cause well, he's a sweety and he's dad LOL. James middle name is Kenneth and that was after my grandfather/ Bumpa. I still remember how honored he was when I did that even though it was just a middle name. In all the kids and grandkids I had been the first to do so. Him and James even though the diseases are by far different. They had so much in common about having to go to the dr's feeling ill after treatments etc. Odd lil Bond they had. Simply put. I am Very Thankful that he made me make that promise. He's right, James deserves this time to just be a kiddo.

So while yes I am excited to go on this trip, It feels like I have a little rain cloud over my head. I'm sure after a prayer and a good nights sleep Things will be alot brighter tomorrow.

Now about the trip,

James wish coordinater did e-mail today. Apparently we will be stopping in Portland and a ton of pictures will be taken at that point. We will be picking up another woman from the Dream Factory as well.

We are all packed. We did that last night., so we will do a final check on luggage later this eve.

So here is my hope, Tomorrow will come and be a new day while yes I am sad and kids are sad that Bumpa has finished his journey here on Earth we can smile know he is up in heaven and in peace and we can just go and have a blast.

I also again want to put another Thank you out to everyone that has been following along. For the silly questions I have asked Thank you for the answers I want to thank the folks at the Big Give for making this trip extra special with all the lovely things that have been sent, I am in shock at how caring and generous everyone is.

So YAY at PTR being done. Looking forward to doing a TR. and I will make sure there are tons of pictures, Hopefully some that come out well anyways hahaha... Maybe I can do a TR more organized and less typo's...
