The Battle For My Wallet III: The Smell of Free Dining (Addendum, pg 34)

[jennymouse]

Zzub, I'm sorry you and your family are going through this. I guess in life we have to take the bitter with the sweet to be able to appreciate the sweet. It's hard tho. Doesn't seem fair when going through it and even though you know it's God's will it still cuts like a knife. My love & prayers for you and yours. {{{{{The Zzubs}}}}}

Zzub, I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what your family must be going through, I can only offer my condolences. You have poured your heart into this final phase of this report and so eliquently showed the true person that you are. You are a very loving and devoted father, as you have shown throughout your trip report, so I know that that only makes this time even harder.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless and keep you.

Thank you so much for the wonderful experience of living vicariously through your trip report until ours get here, it truely has been lots of fun.

I'm so very sorry. There is no way typed words can convey the sadness I feel as I sit here at work crying. You and your family will be in my family's prayers. I can only imagine how devastating something like this can be. Your strength in our Lord is awesome to witness. Thank you for such a strong testimony.

Your epilogue was a fitting, beautiful, yet sorrowful end to the best trip report I have ever read.

I'm sorry for your loss. Your reports have entertained me for along time. You are the undisputed champion!

Just came to catch up....I'm speechless. You've made me laugh and you've made me cry. You've captured with pure eloquence how so many of us feel about WDW. You and your family are in my prayers.

Prayers and pixie dust and hugs,

Everybody else has already said everything I wanted to say and more, but I felt I couldn't just walk away! Thank God for the Hope you have in Him, our Savior!....we share that same hope and our thoughts and prayers are with the Zzubs.

I am so sorry for your loss. I always try to think, things happen for a reason. It may not seem that way now, but in the end it always works out.. God has a plan for you and your family..

May God's loving hand comfort you all during this difficult time. Zzub, thank you for all that you do.

Zzub, please add my condolences to the ever-growing circle that's surrounding you and your family. I've been on that rollercoaster too ... and had both sides of the coin. Our 3rd baby, we think, was supposed to be a twin. Well not supposed to be, because clearly God had a different plan. But there it was, a miscarriage and a healthy baby wrapped together in a hugely bittersweet package.

Many, many thanks for taking the time to preserve your memories of that trip and for sharing them with all of us at the same time.

Blessings,

Zzub,
Your wife and you are in my prayers. I've had to deal with this in my life as well between DD#2 and DS. I hope the thoughts and prayers of all of us here on the DIS help you and your wife get through this time.

Zzub, I don't know what I could say that hasn't already been said so eloquently by others. I am grieving for you. Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh, I'm so sorry for you and your family. What a terrible roller coaster ride you've had. I lost 2 babies, one at 12 weeks and one at 25 weeks. Totally devastating, but we went on to have 3 beautiful kids. Your wife is so lucky to have such a supportive and caring husband, and no doubt you feel the same about her. That's the most important thing now, get strength from each other.

Like so many have said before, thank you for sharing your trip reports with all of us. Just wonderful. You made me laugh and made me cry....really.

God Bless you and your family, ZZUB.

 

[javamom]

Zzub, my sincere condolences for your family's loss. I do know what it is to be held together by the grip of God's love in face of such despair. I do know what it is to wake each morning to new mercies and to be carried through the day in His hands. Aren't we fortunate that His comfort is always a Fastpass?

I pray this for you and those you love and are loved by.

Hugs and prayers,
Steph

God Bless.

Prayers and pixie dust for your family. It sounds like you have a strong faith, a good perspective and a lot of love for each other to get you through this time.

Yet again you moved me to tears with your writing. You truly have a gift. Somehow you manage to perfectly capture the true magic of Disney, why so many of us love it so much.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us.

 

[ZZUB]

I just want to say thank you to EVERYONE who has responded to this thread. My wife and I just sat here and read each of your posts and we are humbled by the outpouring of compassion from not-such-complete strangers. It is impossible for me to thank each of you individually, but please know that we read every word that has been posted here and we are very grateful.

 

[TLinden16]

So sorry for your loss, Zubb. I pray that you and your wife have the strength to get through this under the loving eye of the little angel in heaven.

Zzub, I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I had almost exactly the same thing happen to me - I was 10 weeks pregnant with my deeply-longed for second child when things started to go wrong. Hubby and I waited through an agonizing four days for confirmation that our dear unseen baby had gone straight from me to the Lord. We never even found out if that baby was a girl or a boy, but I know that he or she is safe and waiting for me and I look forward to the day when I'll get to see my baby with my own (new) eyes, and you and your wife will get to see yours.

Looking forward to that day, and to hanging out with you then.
