Hey folks

Unfortunately, I have sad news to share. Ranger Stan called a little while ago and shared with me that he found out today he has leukemia. He is going into the hospital at Altamonte Springs tomorrow to begin 4-5 weeks of aggressive treatments, enough that he will be staying in the hospital the whole time. I will do my best to update as I get them from his DW. Also will try to get room info. ASAP.

Most of all, he specifically asked for prayer from his friends here. I told him we would be honored.

Ohhhh. I will definitely add him to my list JT!

. . . . . . Not the trip I had planned . . . . .

Hey folks

Unfortunately, I have sad news to share. . . . . . .

Our lives seem to never be what we planned, but we go on, supporting each other in the living of them, and sharing the joys and trials with those important to us.

We will lift Ranger Stan and Sweetie up; interrupting Heaven for Ranger Stan will be a priority in our prayers.

I know Ranger Stan does not "DO" the DisBoards, so Jimmy, pass along to he and Sweetie our love and prayers.

 

[Granny]

Jimmy...so sorry to hear the news about Stan but really appreciate you taking the time to let us know. Of course, he will be in our prayers.

Oh Jimmy
I'm So Sad to hear about our Dear Friend Ranger Stan
I know his faith is strong and we will keep him and his sweetie in our prayers.

 

[Nicoal13]

I will definitely keep Ranger Stan in my prayers. I never had the pleasure of meeting him when he was still at the Lodge, wish I had.

Oh no! Please let him know that I will be thinking of him & for sure adding him to my prayer list.

Thank you Corinne, Nicoal13, franandaj, Dizny Di, Inkmahm, and Tea Pot !

 

[Corinne]

Jimmy, thank you for letting us know about Ranger Stan. We finally had the pleasure of meeting him 3 years ago, and as everyone who has ever met him him knows, he is a delightful man. He will be in my prayers.

 

[wildernessDad]

Sorry to hear about Ranger Stan. What a wonderful man he is.

I'm on a flight that will take me home. Had a nice vacation too long though, I think. More when I'm settled at home.

 

[Inkmahm]

Ranger Stan will be added to my prayers tonight, too. I've never met the man in person but I still feel like I know him after reading about him so many times in our thread!

On a happier note, my FIL had his colon cancer surgery today in PA and was told that it was a routine surgery that went very well. He won't know until late next week what stage cancer he has and what the next course of treatment will be. Today's news was the best we could hope for though!

DH sees the surgeon tomorrow to hopefully schedule his own surgery for the parathyroid tumor and hernia. He is SO tired that he really wants the surgery ASAP so he can start feeling better ASAP, too.

As for me, I think my temporary consulting job will come to an end either this week or maybe next week. I can't see that they will need me around any longer than that unless there is another stage to the project that I don't know about yet. It's been an interesting assignment so I'm glad I agreed to help. I'm not looking forward to going back to the job search for a full time job though.

 

[Dizny Dad]

horselover - While we may not be there THIS time, we playfully celebrate your anniversary with you!

All the best to you both from jimmytammy, family; DiznyDi & Dad, and the rest of the groupie gang!

(Please let Anniversay Guy know we need him on the DisBoards!)

i am so sad to hear this... Is there an address that we can send him some cards to keep his spirit up?

 

[horselover]

Dizny Dad - thanks for that blast from the past! That was a really fun night, but looking at that cake is making me hungry!

Hi Groupies:

How's everyone doing? I'm going to try and get caught up since I haven't been on line in several days.

DH and I are having a blast and enjoying our second week at SSR. Weather has been in the 90's and sunny.

Since my last post... we went to Animal Kingdom (first visit to the park), Epcot and MK. We had extra magic hours at MK and made it until 1am. After 13.5 hours in the park we were tired but we had a great day. Found an excellent spot for the Electrical Parade and moved our way to the front of the castle for the fireworks. I finally saw Tinkerbell flying from the castle which gave me goosebumps. It's so magical here. Picture count is over 2,000 right now and I have a few days left. Won't break my record of 3,600 in two weeks but this will be second. LOL

The past few days we've been relaxing by the pool, reading and resort hopping. The other day we went to AKV and "your home". The Concierge was kind enough to let us look at a 1BR Villa... very nice and love the color scheme. Yesterday we toured BLT (saw a studio and 1BR), and visited the Contemporary, GF and Poly. Tomorrow we will visit the Boardwalk area since we haven't been there yet.

The transportation system is excellent and we've been having fun going on all of it. Met many great CM's, bus drivers, etc. which is making our vacation even better.

Just wanted to say hello to all of you!

Have a great evening!

Corinne - Have a wonderful vacation and enjoy SSR. Sad that we'll miss each other...

horselover ~ Being at SSR for two weeks is a dream come true. I've been planning this vacation for 1.5 years and to obtain two weeks in the same size villa, same resort via. RCI exchange is a blessing.

tea pot ~ DH/I toured the entire property and went over to the tree houses. They are really cool and the setting is amazing. That's what I call super duper high tech camping... my style!

blossomz ~ Glad you are recovering from your surgery. Have fun planning your trip.

MiaSRN62 ~ Happy Belated Birthday. Hope you had a fantastic day!

Eliza ~ Have a fantastic vacation!

jimmytammy ~ My thoughts/prayers will be with Ranger Stan. Please keep us posted on how he is doing.

Inkmahm ~ Sorry that you are going through so much right now. Will keep you, DH and your FIL in my prayers. Good luck with everything and please keep us posted.


Hello to everyone else. Have a great evening and will be back soon... maybe Friday? If not over the weekend once we arrive home and settle in.

sooooooo sad. We always looked for Stan when we were at the Lodge - he is such a big and special part of that place for us.

Will be sending daily prayers his way from our home.

I agree - nothing like getting cards from people who truly care about you to keep ones spirits up.
