Keksie Posted November 30, 2022 #79326 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @Sunshine3601 I am adding my condolences to you and Eric. A lot of the to do list can probably wait until after the cruise so I hope you can both get away. Whatever you do my thoughts are with you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric's Mother passed away around 10 am. Eric and his Brother spent the morning trying to find her Will and other legal documents, banking info, etc. He phoned at work and I suggested they look under her mattress...tada they found alot of it under her mattress. I think that scared him that I knew how a crazy old lady that was paranoid of everyone trying to steal from her would think.😇 They have begun the arrangements to have her cremated. Just not sure what to do with her ashes yet. She never told anyone and is not written down. Eric and I booked to sail on Anthem this coming Sunday. He's not sure he will make it but is insisting that I go and enjoy a solo cruise. I'm not sure how I feel about yet. Debbie, I am very sorry to hear that. Hugs to you and Eric. To go or reschedule is entirely your and Eric's personal decision. Wishing you both peace and strength.

Husky1987 Posted November 30, 2022 #79330 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @Sunshine3601 Condolences to you and your family. My mom passed in February and the loss still cuts every day. Obviously a little more had passed but I can tell you my wife and I went on a pre-planned cruise about a month after she passed and it was the best thing I could have done. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also would suggest do what absolutely needs to be done this week and both of you cruise this weekend. We had a family cruise planned less than a month after my dad passed, my brother urged us to go and it was definitely the right thing for us. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted November 30, 2022 #79333 Share Posted November 30, 2022 I'll be the first one to say it. As far as those "lighthouse" cookies, I'm thinking......male anatomy. Had 2nd cataract surgery yesterday. I think I'm the only one in existence who experiences pain a day after surgery. Dr appointment this morning. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted November 30, 2022 #79334 Share Posted November 30, 2022 It was 50° with heavy rain when I got up this morning. It is supposed to turn to snow this afternoon. The first thing we did this morning was to go to the school, and drop off a large box of new toys for Angel Tree. It is sad, that many times, these are the only things some kids get for Christmas. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Momof3gurlz Posted November 30, 2022 #79335 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @Sunshine3601 adding my condolences for the passing of Eric’s Mom. IMO, going ahead with the cruise might be just the thing for you both. Eric could use the time to think about and plan what needs to be done when you return, without the outside distractions of work and everyday life. But that’s only my opinion and the two of you will make the choice that’s right for you. You and your family are in my thoughts. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts will be with you and the family. I think you both should cruise. Give yourself time to grieve and a cruise would give you some comfort. My mom and Linda's mom were both cremated and we didn't have a celebration of life ceremony till a couple of months after they died. Anything you do does not have to be right away. Take time for yourself and celebrate her life. + 1 , every word. 38 minutes ago, BonTexasNY said: Debbie, so sorry to read about Eric's mother's passing. It's a blessing she didn't suffer.

lenquixote66 Posted November 30, 2022 #79339 Share Posted November 30, 2022 HPE4 has not posted since November 2016. Did he post that he was going on a cruise ? Did I miss his post ? I am concerned because this is not like him not to post for a two week period. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted November 30, 2022 #79341 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Back from my eye doc. Everything is healing beautifully. I just have to keep applying refresh eye drops to lubricate my eye. It's amazing how much better I can see now. So clear! Lenny, I'm sure you didn't mean November, 2016. I doubt HBE went on a cruise. Hopefully, he's just busy and hasn't found time to post. This is the problem with most online friendships when you don't share personal info like phone numbers, emails, etc., which also might not be answered. We just have to hope for the best that all is well. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dani negreanu Posted November 30, 2022 Author #79343 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) 12 hours ago, Coralc said: And since we are on the subject. I have a question for Dani @dani negreanu in a lot of the photos of the cemeteries in Israel, there are window spaces cutout into the crypts. Is that to check on them? I don't mean to be disrespectful, but I am just curious as to why there would be openings. ☺️ No worries, I've been known to be curious and asking many questions, always trying to learn something new from other people. So, many observant Jews have a small window on the graves of the departed ones, to put in and light a memory candle. This way, rain and wind do not "shut it down". The candle would eventually do it itself. And, speaking of candles [and lighthouses...], that's DH "interpretation" of Peggy Cove's lighthouse... @Ocean Boy Edited November 30, 2022 by dani negreanu 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George C Posted November 30, 2022 #79347 Share Posted November 30, 2022 We are extremely lazy this cruise we didn't get off today even though we are docked in St Maarten but we stopped here several times since covid. Almost no children on board, found it strange that Celebrity allowed a passenger to have two small dogs which are kept in a baby stroller they were in suite pool area this morning. Some dress codes are being enforced there was a boy with his father on the elevator and they said he had to change since shorts were not allowed for dinner in Blu . St Thomas tomorrow we will get off so wife can shop and there is a nice Italian restaurant that we always visit. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted November 30, 2022 #79350 Share Posted November 30, 2022 @BonTexasNY Good news re the post surgery healing.
