So its been 3 years since my friend Pam was taken. I just cant believe it. I feel sad. Everyone gather around, please, say a prayer. Tell someone you love them.
Pam,
I miss you more than I ever could imagine. My son shed another tear for you
today, as so did I. The only thing that keeps me going is that I know you
are in a better place. Please continue to watch over all of us, like you
have been. And know you are loved!
Yesterday I meant to type the Port by Orlando which is Port Canaveral,which is near Orlando. Well that is the airport I flew in and out of, or at least tried too. Well I also just realized that tomorrow is Sept 11. WOW I cant believe it. I am sad.
I'm baaaack!!! Sorry for the lack of update but my 7 night cruise lasted 11 nights. Due to Hurricane Francis we couldnt dock at the port in Orlando, so we had to stay out at sea. We did have wonderful weather, it didn't even rain once. When we docked for a few hours in Texas to refuel we started heading back to Florida. Well the seas were just wild. My son and I were GREEN!!! Thank go it didnt last long though. We ended up having to dock at another port. We did have a wonderful time! I tell you I still have sea legs. It felt good to be on land!! So Was I missed??? Well here is the long awaited update.
