So glad you arrived safely. Even if you haven't started relaxing, I am sure you are enjoying your time with your DD. If I didn't know better I would be thinking you were recounting one of my vacations! Take care, relax, and put on that swimsuit and bask in the sun (but wear sunscreen)!
Good to hear from you, sister!

Hugs to all!

Hey Ladies...............back too..............fantastic time down the shore house with my daughter, and 2 grandchildren..........took my daughter's mother-in-law, and she loved it.............some rain, but mostly good weather...........I hate to see the summer end................only a few more weekends, and its over.................the vertigo went away the day we left, and did not return......thought it was the Femara, but it was just the problem I get soemtimes...............I have that BPSV, or whatever the hell its called, and I guess it was just an episode of that........thank heavens it went away.........it is horrible when it happens...........today I was so tired, I could not keep my eyes open............I wisht he hell this fatigue would go away...........it is awful.............got measured for my LE garments (2), or should I say remeasured...................also the glove,,,,,,,,,,,,,and the night garment.........hopefully they get it right this time...............ok ladies have a good evening, and hugs to all of you.

ducky ~ Oh, it sounds like it was such a lovely time at the shore. So glad to hear the vertigo went away & I really hope the LE garments fit perfectly. (but damn that you have to wear them at all!)
Sheila ~ hugs to you! Sounds like you are having such a wonderful time....♥

Valjean........we did have fun........we won't be going down this weekend, but will the following week,and then next would be Labor Day............that is always a bittersweet time..........my husband died on Labor Day..........we usually go out back around the pool with the grandchildren....I have them all write a note, tape it to helium filled balloons, and we send them out over the water............have been doing this for 20 years............I started it the day of his funeral at the cemetary, and have done it every year since.........only we do it down the shore not the cemetary..................its making a memory.....................hugs to you

ducky ~ Now that is keeping a loved one in your heart. I think with the grandchildren sending special messages of their own off on the balloons, now that is love. I don't know what else to say, that is such a lovely family moment to share.

Ducky...that is such a lovely, special thing to do..0

Thanks ladies..........it is a special time. Some don't make it to the shore...............2 are in Chicago, so they go to the Lake right across from their Condo, and send theirs up too.......one is 27, and the other 25 (brothers).............no matter where the 18 are....with me........or away from home.......they never forget..........

Ducky that is a wonderful tradition

Yes Ducky, I think that I will incorporate something like that when the time comes for certain loved ones! It's a beautiful tribute!

Ladies.......the oldest grandchild when my husband died was only 8, and there was 9 of them at the time............I thought it was something they would remember about that day at the cemetary............I wanted them to remember it as a happy occassion...........he died in September on Labor Day, and his birthday was October 30th, so on his birthday we all gathered at the cemetary again...........I brought cupcakes, we lit each one, and sang Happy Birthday to their Poppie................since then we have 9 more "grands", that never knew him.........but I have my way of keeping his spirit alive.................
I also told all of them the history of the "white butterfly"...............how that is someone from heaven coming back to see you................everytime a white butterfly comes around someone will always say "Poppie's here", and it happens at the weirdest times...........I swear it is him........graduations, communions, football games, the day we open the shore house, and the pool................he always shows up................
For anyone who doesn't kn'ow the history..............the white butterfly signifies the Resurrection of Christ..........so the story goes, when you see a white butterly it is someone who has passed on, coming back to see you................I'm a believer.................

Ladies, it is funny how things come back to you..............when my husband was close to dying, was when he finally told me "I know I'm dying".......the pancreatic cancer had taken over, and after 2 years and 9 months (which was considered wonderful in the surgeons eyes) he prepared himself for the end.................he said a lot, but the thing that upset me the most, and stayed with me was what he said "I'll never get to walk my baby down the aisle"........Nikki was the last child, and the 3rd girl of our 6 children..............He was there for all the other weddings, but this one seemed to upset him the most................I remember how he wept when he told me that, and then he said to me............."but tell her to look for me in the crowd...I will be there right beside her"..................................she asked me to walk her down the aisle, even though I said "oh I can't do this even though it was 3 years later...................when the Limo pulled up outside the church the photographer said "can the proud mother of the bride say something for the video camera"....................I said "she looks beautiful, her father would be proud, and please don't make me talk anymore"..........................as we got out of the car a "white butterfly" kept flying around us, and then followed us into the church............that fast it was out of sight, but as the Priest said "who gives this girl to be married"....................the butterfly perched on my shoulder, just as I said "I do"...............then it was gone again, only to re-appear when she turned to walk down the aisle out of the church .................I tell yo this ladies because I do belive in the "white butterfly"....................if you have lost a loved one...............look for it whenever your somewhere especially something that means something to you....................it gives you the faith and hope to belive..............your never alone.........................hugs.
