Vent - My Daughters Trip May Not Happen Due To Storm

[Grama-Herc]

After all the planning and waiting and stressing---the visit from my daughter may not happen because of a stupid tropical storm that could become a hurricane.

Seems the storm will hit ME on Tuesday which is no big deal.

Then it is headed for the town where she is flying out of at the time she is flying out.

12 years of worry and shame over our relationship is wiped out by one phone call last Novermber. She calls and we talk and all is as well as can be expected so we plan a trip. A trip to come and see me and to bring my first grandbaby to see me.

Getting this trip together took all the in laws plus me and mom, but we got it together, bought the tickets and rented the needed baby furniture. I even reserved a small apt. in my complex for her to sleep in, etc. Getting this little place for her to stay was not easy. There are only 2 and they are reserved way up into the end of the year by now.

All could be wipped out by "1" stupid tropical storm. I am so pissed and angry and upset and hurt and sad. Give me an emotion that is negative and I'm feeling it right now.

I am disappointed and in tears and trying SO HARD to be positive that the storm will go somewhere else, but I'm not doing a very good job of it.

So, guess I've bitched enough about something I can't control.

But say a prayer the storm falls apart or something so she can still come down to see us.

It WILL happen, Herc. You will get to see her, and even if the storm delays things a little, I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Hugs.

I am praying that the storm does not interfere with this visit.....will say more than one prayer.......I want you to have this visit...you deserve it. Try to stay positive...I know it is hard but i will try a bit for you too!!!!!!!!

Herc,

I've been tracking this storm since I'm in the possible path, too. The last track shows this storm moving up into Georgia on Thursday. Even if it does head the other direction, it will only delay flights out by a few hours and the airline reschedules those. This storm (once it gets into FL) will lose a lot of power and become a big rain maker.

Like Nic said...a delay in plans isn't going to cancel these plans for your visit. And plans can be redone. People understand that things happen out of our control.

You both have waited too long to let Mother Nature having a small temper fit get in the way of your reunion.

Hugs
Lisa

I am filled with hope and gratitude. Thank you guys for you support. This is keeping me sane and grounded.

Every passing hour changes the course of this stupid storm and I go off in some other directon of A-U-G-H !

One good thing, I always clean when stressed and anxious so therefore the whole house is in pristeen condition and looking good, but now what am I going to do till Thursday?.

I have even gotten out a big stack of "small projects" I'v intended to do for---OH--a year or so! !

Just hang in there with me guys! You are helping me so much and you will never know how much this means to me! Thanks from the bottom of my heart
