The other day I received a very sad message from Heather ( GOS ) one of our DIS cruisers, with some tragic news. This is the message I received:
"Sarah - it is with great sadness that I have to write and tell you that we will not be joining you all in in September. My husband passed away suddenly on Tuesday after a operation on his heart. I would be so greateful if you could you pass on this message to the people making all the arrangements for the activities on board.
Thank you - Heather "
I am sure Heather would have wanted all her DIS friends to know what has happened. Although we personally had never had the pleasure to sail with Rick and Heather, I know many of you did, and we were really looking forward to meeting them on the WBTA, especially after reading about many of their adventures on other trip reports. This sad and tragic news has come as a total shock, I guess you never think that something so terrible is going to happen to a fellow cruiser. Our hearts go out to poor Heather and her family
....and I missed the ENTIRE stuff about the shirts- including the deadline.....Don't tell me they are white... then I will really cry that we missed the deadline....

I need to rant for a few minutes.
My DSis just called, upset. She is a 911 Dispatcher and just got off a call where a family lost a 2 year old little boy for 20 minutes at a park. They said a couple witnesses said they last time they saw him was at the edge of the waterMy sister immediately dispatched water rescue. Unfortunately, the little boy was found and he had drowned.
I could go on about the parent, but that would be a whole other rant. I understand that all things happen for a reason, but today I just dont want to hear that. My thought and prayers go out to his family as they deal with this tragic loss. To all the rescue workers who found him and who will forever have that image in their brains and to my poor Dsis who feels helpless becasue she was not able to save this one.
Thanks for letting me vent. Hug someone tonight and be thankful they are with you.
The Little Adventures princess dress versions are incredibly comfortable, extremely soft, flexible, and not scratchy at all. They make acceptable versions to pass for real ones, at least in my opinion, and my daughter would live in them every day all day if I'd let her. Plus we have matching outfits for her Princess Bunny (they also fit Americal Girl sized dolls). Here are some of the dresses that we have. We also have the accessories (headbands, Snow White's cape, Cinderella choker etc.) which they also sell:
And here are some pictures near the original for comparison:
Can you believe it?!! We will all be doing the double-digit dance this week!!
That's right!

I know what you mean ... I cried when I got the message and I have never met them either .... I couldn't believe it
I feel so sad when I see Heather's profile pic on Facebook, it just doesn't seem fair, to be looking forward to something so much and then your life changes in a second to be so devastatingly sad.
So sorry to hear this!!! My condolences go out to Heather and her family! Our thoughts and hearts are with them!

ohmygosh i can't catch up!
I'm still trying to read all of the last thread!
and I missed the ENTIRE stuff about the shirts- including the deadline.
Ohwell, guess it wasn't meant to be for us to have them.
Are they black this time? Don't tell me they are white... then I will really cry that we missed the deadline. If they are black, tell me- then I won't feel so bad about missing the deadline.
darnit! I knew I should keep up with this thread more now that we're getting closer to the date especially! I blame wwf, facebook and my kids. yeah, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL
Awesome!! That's so thrilling for all of you!!! Indeed it will be a new, fun experience to see literally the world through her eyes! 
Congratulations
