THE FINAL TRIP: I-AKL (w/ lots of photos)

[jennymouse]

I enjoyed your trip report and the wonderful pictures you included. I admit to getting teary at the end but it's such a beautiful story. I lost my mother in 2003 to cancer and I would've given anything to take her on a trip to wDW before she passed but she was just so sick and always a homebody anyway. I have been taking my 81yo father though as well as my aunt & uncle in their late 70's...3 on ECV's & me quiet a picture I assure you! I'm at work or I'd show you picks of Dad with the princesses!lol

What a wonderful report. I'm so glad you had a great trip, and I'm so sorry for your loss.

And by the way, your pictures are truly fantastic!!! I tried pictures of the AKL lobby at Christmas and they just didn't come out well at all. If you are looking for a second career, maybe a professional photographer??

Your trip report has change my mind about inviting my mother in law. We took her with us in 2001 and had a great time. Waivered on taking her on this trip b/c of cost, but after reading this report, I think will find it somewhere. Your mother, aside from her being in a wheelchair, looked amazingly healthy. I am so sorry for your loss, and know you will cherish those memories forever!!

Thanks for the reminder about what's truly important in life.

I once read:

Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.
