Sad news

**kriskay** · 03-10-2008, 02:57 AM

Hello all. I am officially back to planning my next Disney trip. October 2008. So I should be frequenting the boards again!
Planned on going in March as well, but things have changed SO MUCH in the past couple of months...where to begin?!?

Well, happy news first..I have a new job that I LOVE! But its stressful too. And lots of responsibility...

Sad news..my younger brother (24 and 8 days) passed away unexpectedly on Feb 2. This is the VERY FIRST time I've had to deal with death..and for it to be my brother..its just crazy. I did really well the first couple of weeks..now I'm barely making it, simply going thru the motions of every day life, not feeling or caring...everyone keeps telling me to talk about it, say something...but really I just miss him, nothing else to say...

I hear it gets easier...I'm just praying that it comes soon...please join me in this. I would REALLY appreciate it.

Here's the video that played at his funeral. Tons of pics with me and him..we were very close..

Kriskay,
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. It is never easy to lose someone in your immediate family but with time things do get better. There are still times I think of my father, but I know he is in a better place now. Please know my families thoughts and Prayers are with you during this hard time! The video tribute is very sweet!

It will be great seeing you around the boards and if you need any tips about going in October just ask. I was there last year Oct. 21-28. Just let me know!
