Our family trip to Disney World was certainly bittersweet, but full of amazing memories that we’ll always treasure. Things were a little bumpy when we first got down to Florida. My Father-in-law was admitted to the hospital not too long after they arrived in Orlando on Monday. Not to mention, I became extremely ill with breathing problems and ended up at the Urgent Treatment Center earlier that morning. Thankfully things began to look up over the next few days. Tim was released from the hospital and made it to Magic Kingdom two days in a row, just long enough to ride a ride or two (I think ‘It’s A Small World’ was his favorite) and see his grand-babies enjoying themselves. We had wonderful hospice nurses that provided 24 hour care at the hotel and during his visits to the park, and my parents were able to come up from my hometown to help out a bit that Monday night while he was in the hospital. It just really sort of … all worked out for the best. If ever there was a time where I heard God speak loud and clear to me about my inability to just shut up and have a little faith – it was during that trip. Boy do I love to analyze, rationalize, and lean on my own understanding – or lack there of!
I am in absolute tears right now. I am so sorry you all have to go through this. I am glad you were all able to be on this trip together and make some very treasurable memories. My thoughts are with your family.
Thank you for your sweet words, Ashleigh! It means a lot to have so many people thinking of us.
I couldn't help but well up while reading this…even though it was tough, these are going to be treasured memories for everyone involved, and it's so so important to have those, I especially love the one with all the grand kids gathered around him

You're so right – we will always have these memories and these photos. I am so thankful. That picture of the kids around him one of my absolute favorites, too!
I am so happy it all worked out for you, and I am so happy you all have these memories now!
Thank you, Sara! I am so happy it did too. 🙂
Wow. Amazing and so sad. My heart goes out to your family – glad you could all be together. 🙂
Cheers,

You probably get this a lot but I'm in love with your hair. I wish that I could dye mine funky colors but alas, I work as a receptionist and it's not professional. I'm thinking of buying a wig and just wearing that to work so I can have funky hair again!
