VWL Lovers & Groupies thread: It all started with a Moose

[Muushka]

She then thanked him for putting up with her for so long, and he turned around and said, despite all that he's facing and going through, that it had been the best 10 days of his life. He was so grateful honored that she would put her life on hold to come out and take care of him.

Being the of the female persuasion, it brought a tear to my eyes.

Thank you for sharing yourself and your family with us.

stopher, thanks for the report. Sounds like stuff is going well under the circumstances.

Happy Monday Groupies!


I finally went back and read all that I've missed. Hope to stay up-to-date now and be a more active groupie.

Our school just got notification yesterday that we did in fact win the $500,000 from the Kohl's Cares contest. We are very humbled and grateful for what this means to our school. It was amazing to see God open so many doors to get us publicity and support. Ours was the only school in Texas to win. Thanks for the well wishes!

Thanks. I can't believe I'm going to be 60 years old. And to think we still get as excited about going to WDW as we did 20 years ago .

Don't have any advice on room requests but I just wanted to say I'm so excited for your trip and hope it is a wonderful birthday week full of all the best for you! And 60 sounds so young! They say you are as young as you feel and I always feel younger at WDW so I can't think of a better place to celebrate!

stopher--what a sacrificial gift to give your wife and her Dad; prayers for your family

twokats--prayers for your mom to strengthen during this break from chemo

Hey, has anybody heard from Maria lately?

 

[Nicoal13]

Stopher - how wonderful that your DW got to spend that time with her Dad. What an awesome sentiment from him as well.

Happy Birthday WolfPack!

I really need to head to bed....

Very cool! Kohl's is a great company. A tidbit from my past- I did all the purchase accounting for the Kohl's acquisition by management when they bought the company from BATUS. That was back in 1986, I think. Maybe 1985. Corporate headquarters were in the back of a retail store at that point I think there were something like 65 stores total, all in an area close to Milwaukee, WI. Those original owners became multi multi millionaires. Originally the stores were owned by the Kohl's family. They did a lot for the Milwaukee area. They have been generous and always were well respected. Congratulations on getting the money for your school!

Hi Groupies. Adding to the rash of health issues happening with so many of our friends I find I'm sitting in the Cardiac ICU with my mother now. She was admitted late Saturday and has a very weak heart, poor kidney function and is not doing well. I've had the talk from 4 different people to be prepared for the worst. Any prayers would be wonderful.

My prayers continue to go to Stopher, his wife, his FIL and his family and to twokats and her mother.

 

[Dizny Dad]

KAT4DISNEY - Dizny Di & I will interrupt Heaven by lifting you and your mom up for His healing grace.

I've noticed when your post was sent. Late nights in the hospital environment always seems like a lonely place, but remember your friends here on the DISboards are now aware and offer many kinds of heartfelt prayers and wishes.

 

[Muushka]

Oh Kathy, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's health issues. She is in our prayers also.

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. I've spent those long hours in the hospital with a parent and they are very very rough. You are in our prayers.

 

[Nicoal13]

Prayers for you and your mom Kathy.

Also, prayers sent out to the other groupies who need them right now.

Warm day here in WI, doesn't feel like fall at all. Almost time for lunch and then bring DS to school. Not sure what to do with my afternoon.
