I am going away for a week tomorrow and I want to thank my DS friends for being there for me and giving me the strength to go on this trip with my mother and 2 sisters. You are an amazing group who really do care and understand. My life is better because of you and I will miss my daily dose of DS. Thanks so much, Hugs Lu Ann

have a good trip Lu Ann. I know what you mean about not reading DS every day. I keep my computer on and have become addicted to it, and pass by every minute to check messages! Debating if I should take my laptop on the cruise! Sick Sick Sick - but you guys are my main ''peeps'' now. Have a good time - it's great to be with family. Vicki

Have a wonderful trip. You will get a daily dose of life and sharing it with the people you love AND who loves you. Sometimes a while away is needed.

LuAnn, you will not believe what a boost this trip will be for you. My first trip I was scared I would crash and spend all my time crying, but I was very wrong. Being surrounded by people who love you and talking about all kinds of things like you always did, sprinkled with laughter, will lift your spirits amazingly. Glad you're going! God speed and let us know how your trip turned out. This is a sign of healing, that you are willing to let go of your safety zone, home, and venture out. I'm happy for you!

Have a wonderful time, I went on my first trip a couple of weeks after bigbear died, at first I thought I can't go, then it was why can't ?I...there is no reason I can't go other than I didn't want to, thought I SHOULD stay home and hole up in the house but to do what? So I went, and I was glad I did, it was a great time with my family, yes there where tears at times....but they understood. Like I said, have a great time, enjoy, have fun and take it easy, we'll all be here when you get back.
Hugs, Sandi
