weechloe Posted March 20, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Sailed the Vision of the Seas with five of my great friends from March 8th to 18th and then got on the Majesty of the Seas for my first solo cruise since my husband passed away. I was so proud of my big step when getting on the ship but then had mixed feelings about being there after I boarded. While I was sitting at the pool deck waiting for my room, two of my daughters showed up from Ontario to sail with me. There were many tears and a lot of excitement. Their welcome aboard photo has them holding signs saying "Surprise Mom". Life is wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barbie5401 Posted March 20, 2013 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I just finished putting on my make-up - now I have to re-apply. Beautiful story, I as a daughter of an elderly mother hope and strive to give my Mom the same excitement and joy you have experience. Hugs to you and your daughters.

alfaeric Posted March 20, 2013 #19 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Pics or it didn't happen! :D:p Man, it's so nice to see threads of happy people instead of ones who are mad at trivial little things. And I hope you managed to find a sailaway photographer who got the three of you, with the sign. That is oh, so very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
