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

[KeepSwimmingDory]

Di & Dad - Prayers for your daughter

Muushka - Prayers for your sister, Lexie

twokats - So sorry about your cousin & prayers for your family

 

[franandaj]

I am deeply saddened to hear about all the groupies who are experiencing family medical issues.

My prayers go out to you all and I hope that all situations resolve themselves in the best manner possible. I know decisions and everything else are difficult in times like these and just hope that everyone gets through the difficult times as best as they can.

Di and Dad, we will lift you folks up in prayer for today and the coming days as you administer to your daughters needs. We pray for successful surgery, that the medical staff is gifted with the presence of God, that through His hands your daughter will be restored to good health, that her recovery go well, and through it all, He is glorified.

twokats Prayers going up for you folks and your entire family

Ink thanks for that uplifting story

Inkman, stopher, Muush, twokats, Di & Dad

Winging my prayers up and doing my vuulcan mind meld on the laptop sending waves of love your way!!

Remember, love knows no limit to its endurance, no end to its trust, no fading of its hope; it can outlast anything. Love still stands when all else has fallen and no matter what we experience love and faith will remain.

No matter how long you guys are away, we'll be here with a rocking chair.

Stay well

DiznyDi & Dad - will definitely be praying for your DD.

Twokats - I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of your cousin. Good thoughts & prayers going out to you & your family.

Odd question for you...

If you are in the pool, can you see the waterslide line? I never really paid attention to the main pool before. I know at some pools you can see some/most of the line but at others you can't see any of it. I figured if anyone would know it would be a groupie

You can see some of the line maybe not the whole thing. You can tell when there are people at the top waiting to go down. But I do think you can see more when you are in the shallow end.

There always seem to be so many things to pray for in the world, and the Groupies seem to have more than their fair share as of late. But we thought it important to share why DDad and I may be missing from the daily discussions here on the thread. Once again, I need to call on all of our prayer warriors. Our daughter, whom some of you have met, will be having surgery very early tomorrow morning at the Cleveland Clinic to re-sect about 1/2 of her right lung - it's very sick. She'll be in Cleveland 5-8 days and will then be transported to Akron Children's Hospital, Adult Chronic Care where she will spend 2-3 weeks in intense IV anti-biotic therapy as well as physical therapy. After which time she and her husband will be moving back in with DDad and myself while she continues to recover and recuperate. She'll be spending her 30th birthday in the hospital, but we'll celebrate once she returns 'home'. And so, my friends, for those so inclined to interrupt heaven on our behalf, I thank you.

Oh Di and Dad, prayers for your daughter's surgery today. And for the long road ahead. I will happily interrupt heaven on your behalf.

DiznyDi. . . thoughts for your family and I pray all goes well.

Inkmahm. . . a very uplifting story

Stopher1. . . hope the party continues to go as planned and hang in there with your FIL. I know how these setbacks can be. Our oncologist is always doing research to make sure he is giving my Mom the best chance he can. Just that short break from chemo that we took the spot on the liver came back and there was a new spot on her lung which was very disturbing to me. But as I said cancer does not slow down just because you have to get stronger or take a short break.


Now another bit of bad news on our homefront. We had another small snowstorm today, but the worst part of this week was that my cousin died Monday morning. As I said before it has been hard for my Mom especially because she could not be with my Aunt. We will be having the service this weekend.

My prayers and best wishes to all other groupies that I did not mention above and my thanks for the prayers last week when my cousin was still in the hospital. As said by one of the groupies, God will not give us more than we can bear, but sometimes we wonder!!

I am so sorry to hear about your cousin. You and your family are in our prayers. So sad.......

I agree that the pool line is not readily visible...hidden behind some rocks. As bgraham mentioned, you can see someone at the top waiting to go down but that's pretty much it.

It's really not much of a slide, but the kids seem to enjoy it still!

 

[Granny]

So many health struggles for our Groupie family. Dad & Di...you know that prayers are already going up for your daughter.

And twokats, more prayers heading your way as well.

Eliza...nice Star Trek reference and beautiful words about the power of love.

 

[lisah0711]

Prayers, and for all our Groupies who need them!

...As bgraham mentioned, you can see someone at the top waiting to go down but that's pretty much it...

Should be just enough so when we have a little one ready to go our "catcher" at the bottom can be ready. Thanks!

 

[MeTink]

Thanks for the beautiful pictures. I've never stayed here but think I will add this to my list of must-do's.

 

[Granny]

Yes, that should work. If a busy day, you may have some company as a group of "catchers" will be assembling there!

Here's a picture of the start area of the slide...hard to see someone if they are very small:

And here's what it looks like on the exit side (you can see the heads of some kids in line if you look closely):

You do have to keep a sharp eye out as they shoot out pretty fast!

 

[Cricket2]

Wow that is a short slide! More like a sli.

Kid catchers are all kindrid spirits. We would all rather be drinking but my straw isn't long enough to reach from the bar.

 

[Granny]

Yes, it's the shortest slide I've seen at a Disney pool. We used to have OKW beat since they didn't have a slide, but then they went and built a nice one!

Welcome to our band of groupies!!

 

[twokats]

A little extra pixie dust my way Saturday morning please!! I agreed to speak at my cousins funeral. Just a side note. . . I am not much of a public speaker, but my aunt asked me and my other cousins are unable to speak, so I felt as the oldest of the cousins I would give it a try. (What have I gotten myself into?)

Twokats....you got it. So sorry for your loss. By speaking from your heart, I am sure you will honor the memory of your cousin on Saturday.
